What is the issue you’re encountering

My domain is pointing to a weird casino place intead of going to https://angelmixu.github.io/

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

I have changed domain registrars, and now also tried Cloudflare to configure DNS’s.

Previously in Dreamhost I had a domain redirection to https://angelmixu.github.io/ and eventually that same casino webpage was shown.
I removed some stuff and recently appeared again.
I transfered the domain to RaiolaNetworks, and they told me to talk with Cloudflare, that they don’t have anything to do with that.
I also tried to pause Cloudflare, and unpause it, and the same happens.

For the DNS configuration I have two CNAMEs, the root pointing to my github webpage, another one with the www name pointing to root, and the MX for google workspace.
And I configured the nameservers carrera and rustam in my registrar.

And those nameservers are the ones I have configured in RaiolaNetworks.

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

DNS records

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Open http://mixuspb.com and you’ll see a weird page from a casino or other thing, with a language I don’t know. Screenshot included.

Your domain doesn’t seem to be configured on GitHub. Check that your domain is still connected to your page in the GitHub settings.

  1. Create a file named “CNAME” in the root of your GitHub repository.

Content of this file should be:

mixuspb.com
  1. Go to https://github.com/angelmixu/angelmixu.github.io/settings/pages
    → Add the domain name “mixuspb.com” (under “Custom domain”).

Thanks @Laudian and @DarkDeviL !!!

I added the domain to that part of the configuration, and now it’s working so far.
Would you know why that is happening? Because it was working properply before, and I never verified the domain in github.

And, as far as I know, (which can be nothing xD), the redirection on Cloudflare should point directly to any place, isn’t it?
If I’d configure to redirect to google.com when I put my webpage it should go to google.

Just to understand the whole thing :slight_smile:

The DNS records you create on Cloudflare don’t “redirect” anywhere. A CNAME is (in this case) just a convenient way to write GitHubs server IP.
You need to configure your domain on GitHub so that GitHub knows which of the websites using the same IP they should serve.

The website you’ve seen was probably just the first in alphabetical order.

Oh, I see! Thanks!
I thought it was like an URL redirection to a certain webpage.

Awesome, lots of thanks for the explanation :slight_smile:
