Cannot add www.eakw.ca custom domain

Hi,

I’m on Railway’s Hobby plan and successfully added the apex domain eakw.ca to my service on port 8080.

However, when I try to add www.eakw.ca to the same service, Railway displays “Not available.” I cannot find the www domain connected to another project or service in my workspace.

Could this mean the domain is still attached to an old or deleted Railway service? What steps should I follow to release it and connect it to my current service?

Thank you.

The domain you're trying to add is currently registered on a different Railway account, which is why it shows as not available. We can help get it released after a quick ownership check. Please add a TXT record at _railway.verify for that domain with the value k7mp4w2n, and reply here once it has propagated.

The requested TXT record at _railway.verify with the value k7mp4w2n has now been added and has had time to propagate.

Please verify the record and release www.eakw.ca so I can add it to my current Railway service.

Thank you.

The custom domain has been removed. You can add it to your service now.

Hi,

I added a www custom domain to a Railway service. Railway has successfully detected the CNAME record, but the TXT verification record continues to show as pending.

My DNS provider confirmed that the TXT record is configured correctly. A public DNS query for the complete verification hostname returns the exact value provided by Railway.

Could Railway’s verification result be cached or delayed? Is there a way to refresh the verification check or investigate why the publicly resolvable TXT record is not being detected?

I can provide the specific domain and screenshots privately if Railway staff need them for investigation.

Thank you.

Your DNS records are correct. The verification workflow stalled before your TXT record was in place, so it never re-checked once you added it. We've re-triggered certificate issuance, which will re-run verification as well. It should complete within a few minutes.
