title: Domain host records for github and namecheap
body: <p>I have a custom domain with namecheap that I want to redirect to my github page which is at myuser.github.io.</p>
  
  <p>My host records at namecheap have '@' and 'www' A records with an IP of 192.30.252.153. At the root of my github page (in the repo) I have a cname record with mydomain.com. in the file. When I browse to my custom domain in a web browser I get a message that the github page cannot be found.</p>
  
  <p>Ideas? I found a few blog posts about setup, but none of the options worked for me.</p>
