Host a website without Domain?

[blueYOSHI9000]

First off, I’m very new here so I’m sorry if this is the wrong place to ask!

Hi, I just recently started on a small website project and decided to upload it to Github. I already saw that ypu can host website on here and already found a tutorial. However, apparently I need a domain for that, isn’t there a way without? What I mean is just the normal github domain /myproject or something, is that possible?

First of all, welcome to the community! Secondly, it this might have been a better place to post: https://github.community/t5/Pages/bd-p/pages, since I think the feature you are referring to in your post is Github Pages. Anyway, I’ll try to answer your question.

You have to types of GH Pages sites: an orginization or user site - this is a website for your whole profile and a repository stie - this is a site intended for use by just one repository.

If you want to create an orginization/user site just create a repository named yourUserName.github.io. Then, follow the tutorials on how to set up a GH Pages site in that repository.

If you want to create a site for a single repository, just create a branch named “gh-pages” and put your site in there, according to the tutorials.

If you want to access your user/orginazation site just head over to yourUserName.github.io. If you want to access a repository site just head over to yourUserName.github.io/respositoryName!

You CAN youse a custom domain if you want to, but it is not mandatory.

The following link acutally contains all info on what I just said: https://help.github.com/articles/user-organization-and-project-pages/.

I hope I anwered your question.

Hi @blueyoshi9000,

As @mpboom mentioned, this post really belongs in the Pages board. I went ahead and moved it for you. This means you’ll get better engagement, and it keeps our Community organized so users can more easily find information.

No action is needed on your part; you can continue the conversation as normal here.
