I want to switch from WordPress to Jekyll. I have already migrated articles (see New Jekyll articles + made pages and old WordPress site).
Now I would like to have the old urls:
Old URL : http://martin-thoma.com/word-error-rate-calculation/ Current new URL: http://martinthoma.imtqy.com/word-error-rate-calculation/
So, this question really only applies to the top-level domain. My provider (called "Knallhart") must "hold" the martin-thoma.com domain (GitHub does not offer this, right?), And GitHub must serve the content.
When the user enters http://martin-thoma.com/word-error-rate-calculation/ or http://martinthoma.imtqy.com/word-error-rate-calculation/ , the browser should show http://martin-thoma.com/word-error-rate-calculation/ , although the content is on GitHub.
I know a GitHub page Setting up a custom domain with pages , but I still don't understand what I should do.
I tried adding a CNAME file with the contents of martin-thoma.com to my GitHub repository, but that would only result in redirecting from martinthoma.imtqy.com to martin-thoma.com . I just tried adding a CNAME with martinthoma.imtqy.com content on a web space provided by Knallhart. This does not seem to have any effect.
I think I need to change something on GitHub, as well as on Knallhart. GitHub should know that it should display martin-thoma.com , and Knallhart should redirect to content. But I do not understand how to do this. What do I need to change on GitHub and what do I need to do on the side of my provider?
Can I do it on my own or do I need support from Knallhart? I currently have a pretty cheap plan that basically only offers hosting + PHP + MySQL. If I pay another 6 euros, I will get Zone-Modul (which contains the description "DNS controll for your domain"). Do I need a Zone-Modul?
