If you’re having trouble with a root domain on Github pages you may want to check out the Hosting product we (Firebase) just announced. It handles naked domains by having your root A record point to an Anycast IP that serves content from a global CDN. It’s lightning fast. We also support SSL (full SSL, not just SNI) and do the cert provisioning automatically for you.

That's also $50/mo minimum to use a custom domain. Github's static page hosting is free.

Can it handle multiple custom domains like GitHub Pages or is it $49 / month for each an every little static site you want to have on its own domain?
