Github pages 404 error on netlify page deployment

Support
1

Hello, I am trying to host my personal website, and it is linked to a github repo. This repo has just a simple index.html file, as I am trying to get the hosting to work.

If I use the netlify site link - https://seanhughesme.netlify.app/ The page content is being displayed how it should.

When using the DNS domain that I have connected with netlify, which netlify has verified, I am getting a github pages 404 error for some reason. I am quite sure why github pages is involved here, as I don’t have a github pages branch on the repo, and the DNS was only shared to netlify.

custom domain verified with netlify is seanhughes.me

Thanks for the help.

It appears to be working now, around an hour after the initial post. A response on how to prevent this in the future would be appreciated, as I am confident that the site was done building when the error was occurring. Just trying to prevent that from happening going forward.

Hey @seanrosshughes

As you confirmed the custom domain was working around an hour after your initial post, it was likely a matter of waiting for DNS records to propagate. These can take up to 48 hours though usually much quicker in most instances.
