 1. Navigate to your DNS provider and create a `CNAME` record that points your subdomain to the default domain for your site. For example, if you want to use the subdomain `www.example.com` for your user site, create a `CNAME` record that points `www.example.com` to `<user>.github.io`. If you want to use the subdomain `another.example.com` for your organization site, create a `CNAME` record that points `another.example.com` to `<organization>.github.io`. The `CNAME` record should always point to `<user>.github.io` or `<organization>.github.io`, excluding the repository name. {% data reusables.pages.contact-dns-provider %} {% data reusables.pages.default-domain-information %}
