I use GitHub Student Developer Pack offer to take a .me domain on namecheap, when I order honestschool.me domain I choose 1 year free GitHub hosting service. That’s the problem. I want to remove GitHub hosting for my domain name, and I want to add another hosting provider service. But I couldn’t do that. Please help me. When I visit honest.me website. GitHub show me a page (screenshot below). |

Hi @coderMojnu, welcome to the GitHub Support Community! If you want to point your domain towards a different service then you’ll need to log into your Namecheap account and change the DNS records to point towards your new host. There’s instructions on how to do this here: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/767/10/how-to-change-dns-for-a-domain/ You’ll need to get the new DNS settings from your new hosting service, they should tell you what records you need to add. |

Hello, please I am a similar issue to this. I obtained a de-marauder.me domain from namecheap using github's student pack now all my repos with github pages resolve to de-marauder.me when I go to de-marauder.github.io. I want to change this behaviour and have de-marauder.github.io as the default again. I have read most of the recommendations on here and I have tried deleting all DNS records in the namecheap account associated with this domain (de-marauder.me). I did this over 2 weeks ago so the DNS should have propagated by now but the problem still persists. I also tried changing my username while troubleshooting and that seemed to fix the issue for the new username but I had to switch back as changing my username is not an option right now. When I changed username, de-marauder.github.io was still resolving to de-marauder.me How can I fix this please?
