-## Getting started with GitLab Pages domains
+## Pages requirements
-> **Note:**
-> In the rest of this document we will assume that the general domain name that
-> is used for GitLab Pages is `example.io`.
-In general there are two types of pages one might create:
- Pages per user (`username.example.io`) or per group (`groupname.example.io`)
- Pages per project (`username.example.io/projectname` or `groupname.example.io/projectname`)
-In GitLab, usernames and groupnames are unique and we often refer to them
-as [namespaces](../../group/index.md#namespaces). There can be only one namespace
-in a GitLab instance. Below you
-can see the connection between the type of GitLab Pages, what the project name
-that is created on GitLab looks like and the website URL it will be ultimately
-be served on.
-| Type of GitLab Pages | The name of the project created in GitLab | Website URL |
-| -------------------- | ------------ | ----------- |
-| User pages  | `username.example.io`  | `http(s)://username.example.io`  |
-| Group pages | `groupname.example.io` | `http(s)://groupname.example.io` |
-| Project pages owned by a user  | `projectname` | `http(s)://username.example.io/projectname` |
-| Project pages owned by a group | `projectname` | `http(s)://groupname.example.io/projectname`|
-| Project pages owned by a subgroup | `subgroup/projectname` | `http(s)://groupname.example.io/subgroup/projectname`|
-> **Warning:**
-> There are some known [limitations](#limitations) regarding namespaces served
-> under the general domain name and HTTPS. Make sure to read that section.
-### GitLab Pages requirements
 In brief, this is what you need to upload your website in GitLab Pages:
-1. Find out the general domain name that is used for GitLab Pages
+1. Domain of the instance: domain name that is used for GitLab Pages
-   (ask your administrator). This is very important, so you should first make
+(ask your administrator).
-   sure you get that right.
+1. GitLab CI/CD: a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file with a specific job named [`pages`][pages] in the root directory of your repository.
-1. Create a project
+1. A directory called `public` in your site's repo containing the content
-1. Push a [`.gitlab-ci.yml` file][yaml] in the root directory
+to be published.
-   of your repository with a specific job named [`pages`][pages]
+1. GitLab Runner enabled for the project.
-1. Set up a GitLab Runner to build your website
-> **Note:**
-If [shared runners](../../../ci/runners/README.md) are enabled by your GitLab
-administrator, you should be able to use them instead of bringing your own.
-### User or group Pages
-For user and group pages, the name of the project should be specific to the
-username or groupname and the general domain name that is used for GitLab Pages.
-Head over your GitLab instance that supports GitLab Pages and create a
-repository named `username.example.io`, where `username` is your username on
-GitLab. If the first part of the project name doesn't match exactly your
-username, it won’t work, so make sure to get it right.
-To create a group page, the steps are the same like when creating a website for
-users. Just make sure that you are creating the project within the group's
-namespace.
-![Create a user-based pages project](img/pages_create_user_page.png)

-After you push some static content to your repository and GitLab Runner uploads
-the artifacts to GitLab CI, you will be able to access your website under
-`http(s)://username.example.io`. Keep reading to find out how.
->**Note:**
-If your username/groupname contains a dot, for example `foo.bar`, you will not
-be able to use the wildcard domain HTTPS, read more at [limitations](#limitations).
-### Project Pages
+## GitLab Pages on GitLab.com
-GitLab Pages for projects can be created by both user and group accounts.
-The steps to create a project page for a user or a group are identical:
-1. Create a new project
-1. Push a [`.gitlab-ci.yml` file][yaml] in the root directory
-   of your repository with a specific job named [`pages`][pages].
-1. Set up a GitLab Runner to build your website
-A user's project will be served under `http(s)://username.example.io/projectname`
-whereas a group's project under `http(s)://groupname.example.io/projectname`.
-For practical examples for group and project Pages, read through the guide
-[GitLab Pages from A to Z: Part 1 - Static sites and GitLab Pages domains](getting_started_part_one.md#practical-examples).
-## Quick Start
-Read through [GitLab Pages Quick Start Guide][pages-quick] or watch the video tutorial on
-[how to publish a website with GitLab Pages on GitLab.com from a forked project][video-pages-fork].
-See also [All you Need to Know About GitLab Pages][pages-index-guide] for a list with all the resources we have for GitLab Pages.
-### Explore the contents of `.gitlab-ci.yml`
-The key thing about GitLab Pages is the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file, something that
-gives you absolute control over the build process. You can actually watch your
-website being built live by following the CI job traces.
-For a simplified user guide on setting up GitLab CI/CD for Pages, read through
-the article [GitLab Pages from A to Z: Part 4 - Creating and Tweaking `.gitlab-ci.yml` for GitLab Pages](getting_started_part_four.md)
-> **Note:**
-> Before reading this section, make sure you familiarize yourself with GitLab CI
-> and the specific syntax of[`.gitlab-ci.yml`][yaml] by
-> following our [quick start guide].
-To make use of GitLab Pages, the contents of `.gitlab-ci.yml` must follow the
-rules below:
-1. A special job named [`pages`][pages] must be defined
-1. Any static content which will be served by GitLab Pages must be placed under
-   a `public/` directory
-1. `artifacts` with a path to the `public/` directory must be defined
-In its simplest form, `.gitlab-ci.yml` looks like:
+If you are using [GitLab Pages on GitLab.com](#gitlab-pages-on-gitlabcom) to host your website, then:
-```yaml
+- The domain name for GitLab Pages on GitLab.com is `gitlab.io`.
-pages:
+- Custom domains and TLS support are enabled.
-  script:
+- Shared runners are enabled by default, provided for free and can be used to
-  - my_commands
+  build your website. If you want you can still bring your own Runner.
-  artifacts:
-    paths:
-    - public
-```
-When the Runner reaches to build the `pages` job, it executes whatever is
+## Example projects
-defined in the `script` parameter and if the job completes with a non-zero
-exit status, it then uploads the `public/` directory to GitLab Pages.
-The `public/` directory should contain all the static content of your website.
+Visit the [GitLab Pages group](https://gitlab.com/groups/pages) for a complete list of example projects. Contributions are very welcome.
-Depending on how you plan to publish your website, the steps defined in the
-[`script` parameter](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#script) may differ.
-Be aware that Pages are by default branch/tag agnostic and their deployment
+## Specific configuration options for Pages
-relies solely on what you specify in `.gitlab-ci.yml`. If you don't limit the
-`pages` job with the [`only` parameter](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#onlyexcept-basic),
-whenever a new commit is pushed to whatever branch or tag, the Pages will be
-overwritten. In the example below, we limit the Pages to be deployed whenever
-a commit is pushed only on the `master` branch:
-```yaml

-pages:
-  script:
-  - my_commands

-```
-We then tell the Runner to treat the `public/` directory as `artifacts` and
-upload it to GitLab. And since all these parameters were all under a `pages`
-job, the contents of the `public` directory will be served by GitLab Pages.

-In general, GitLab Pages support any kind of [static site generator][staticgen],
-since `.gitlab-ci.yml` can be configured to run any possible command.
-In the root directory of your Git repository, place the source files of your
-favorite static generator. Then provide a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file which is
-specific to your static generator.
-The example below, uses [Jekyll] to build the static site:
+See this document for a [step-by-step guide](getting_started_part_four.md).
-```yaml
+### `.gitlab-ci.yml` for a repository where there's also actual code
-image: ruby:2.1             # the script will run in Ruby 2.1 using the Docker image ruby:2.1

-```
-Here, we used the Docker executor and in the first line we specified the base
-image against which our jobs will run.
-You have to make sure that the generated static files are ultimately placed
-under the `public` directory, that's why in the `script` section we run the
-`jekyll` command that jobs the website and puts all content in the `public/`
-directory. Depending on the static generator of your choice, this command will
-differ. Search in the documentation of the static generator you will use if
-there is an option to explicitly set the output directory. If there is not
-such an option, you can always add one more line under `script` to rename the
-resulting directory in `public/`.
-We then tell the Runner to treat the `public/` directory as `artifacts` and
-upload it to GitLab.
