Custom domain for github using internetbs

I'm trying to configure the dns for my domain to target one of my pages in github

I'm currently using https://internetbs.net for domains but I can't seem to configure it correctly.

I tried searching for a solution but no luck.

I also use internetbs for my domains, and have hosted on github pages.This is how I got it working:

From Github On your github pages branch (master for github user page, or gh-pages if it a project page) create a CNAME file. In it put just your domain, ie

thedomainyouhavebought.com

And commit this file (you can check its linked in the repo settings on in the github pages section.

From Internetbs.net login on internetbs. Select your domain, and go to "DNS Management" section. In here I set both the A Records and CNAME Records.

In A Records leave the name blank, and and in the IP section point it towards:

192.30.252.152

Add another A record that points towards:

192.30.252.153

In CNAME section, add the alias www, and then type the Host location on GitHub, for example if it is a github user pages site you will type:

username.github.io

For me it took about 10 mins to update.

You can check the its linked typing the following in to your terminal: 

dig thedomainyouhavebought.com.

In the answer section, you should see a link to github pages.
