You might already know this, but Github pages hosting doesn't work with usernames ending in a dash. Can you get a custom domain name or change your username?

http://daiz-.github.io/ doesn't work for you ?

My DNS can't resolve it. Can you? [Subdomains aren't supposed to end with a dash](http://stackoverflow.com/a/7933253/811153)...

It works just fine over here. The dash is certainly damn ugly and inconvenient in the URL, though. I actually asked GitHub support if I could get the "Daiz" username since it seems to be abandoned, and had them contact the account owner on my behalf, but haven't heard anything back from him.

Apparently, [only windows/mac resolve hostnames starting or ending with dashes](http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/HP-Security-Products-Blog/Subdomains-With-Hyphens/ba-p/2408405). I had the same problem when my GitHub username was "queue-", so I assumed it was broken for everyone.

@qqueue, does [this](http://daiz.io) work fine for you?
