...yet another question about github pages and custom domains, sorry. I couldn't find a solution in other questions, I think that's very specific to my registrar. Also, I'm not a webmaster or sysadmin, this would be simply my online resume (CV).

I have a domain from Argentina's nic.ar registrar => mydomain.com.ar

Currently, my domain is delegated to a free web hosting where I was experimenting with. I want it to point to my current github page myuser.github.io, but I simply don't know how.

Github gave me 4 IP addresses in order to redirect:

  • 185.199.108.153
  • 185.199.109.153
  • 185.199.110.153
  • 185.199.111.153

but my registrar only accepts hostnames:

What options that are free and simple do I have to make my .com.ar domain point to my github page?

  • You are not in the correct menu of your registrar. You should not (necessarily) change the delegation; that is the list of nameservers authoritative for your domain, you should see with DNS provider hostinger-ar.com how you can change the content of your zone, in order to be able to add 4 A records to point www and the domain itself to the 4 IP addresses you have. – Patrick Mevzek Jul 11 '18 at 0:02

Patrick Mevzek already told you a possible solution in a comment. I want to provide you with another one with more benefits using the free version of Cloudflare. That's how I have all my GitHub pages.

enter image description here

First of all, you need to create a free account on Cloudflare and, after that, add your domain. Use the hostnames provided at this point (follow the instructions provided) to point your domain to your Cloudflare account. They should be something like this:

  • cass.ns.cloudflare.com
  • lou.ns.cloudflare.com

Secondly, you need to point Cloudflare to Github so, go to Cloudflare's DNS menu and create the A records as you've been told in the official guide.

Now you can easily setup redirects (www to non www), SSL certificates, firewall rules, cache, etc.
