# Hosting

## Build folder

By convention the `dist`folder is used for compiled code.

In our case we are going to change that for a FREE hosting hack. Edit the `config.yml` file like this :

### The hacker way

There are a lot of solutions for using a [custom domain with GitHub Pages](https://help.github.com/articles/using-a-custom-domain-with-github-pages/). The simple one is to change your DNS.

1. Update your A record for this adress `192.30.252.153`
2. Add a `CNAME`file [like this one](https://github.com/flexbox/davidl/blob/master/source/CNAME)

💡 **protip:** Each time `foundation watch` create a CNAME file.
