Don't have a CNAME to use? If you're using GitHub Pages, you've now got a better domain name!
All GitHub Pages like nat.github.io/hello is now available at nat.page.as/hello and nat.✨🚀.to/hello
Just visit page.as to get started now!

I was helping my kids build their first website, and getting a good domain name turned out to take the most time consuming step. GitHub and GitHub Pages are amazing, but they said "my friends don't know what github is, and [user].github.io is hard to say & spell". So now, anyone can have a more generic sounding address for their website for free with [user].page.as/[repo]! And because kids these days mostly speak in emoji, they also asked if their domain could be ✨🚀 ... and well, it can! Any GitHub Pages site is also now accessible from [user].✨🚀.to/[repo]! (On Chrome and FireFox, the address bar shows emoji domains starting with "xn--" so ✨🚀.to will look like xn--0ciw829m.to, but Safari on Mac, iPhone, and iPad display the emoji in the address bar.) I hope you find this as valuable and fun as my kids did! Please let me know what you're building, and post your GitHub Pages links on here at [user].page.as/[repo or [user].✨🚀.to/[repo]!
