Pick a custom domain and register it with a DNS provider (if you haven't already done so). A DNS provider is a company that allows users to buy and register a unique domain name and connect that name to an IP (Internet Protocol) address by pointing your domain name to an IP address or a different domain name. A DNS provider may also be called a domain registrar or DNS host.
Before configuring your custom domain with your DNS provider, add your custom domain to your GitHub Pages site. Configuring your custom domain with your DNS provider without adding your custom domain to GitHub could result in someone being able to host a site on one of your subdomains. For more information on adding your custom domain to GitHub, see "Adding or removing a custom domain for your GitHub Pages site."
