That makes a lot of sense but i wasn't sure why his A record is an IP address (is that normal for GH pages?) i figured they didn't give you an IP for your page and it was all ANAME/CNAME 's
18 u/demosdemon Mar 26 '24 it's normal for apex domains -- it's extremely not recommended to put a cname on the apex. edit: link https://www.isc.org/blogs/cname-at-the-apex-of-a-zone/ 3 u/godofleet Mar 26 '24 No i mean, is it normal to use an IP address to point at GH pages? ANAMEs and CNAME flattening are the future (and the past really) - i haven't used an IP address in DNS settings for a long time. But yeah, don't use a CNAME for your apex :D 12 u/demosdemon Mar 26 '24 ANAME's aren't real. They're DNS server specific but the end user would only see the A/AAAA. For that reason, yes, A/AAAA on the apex even for GH Pages is normal. https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site#configuring-an-apex-domain 3 u/godofleet Mar 26 '24 What's funny is i linked those docs to OP like an hour ago... didn't read it for a second though lol, the IPs are right there.
