I have my domain on GoDaddy and need to link to Railway. I tried using the information provided by Railway but it does not let me use '@' with CNAME. Should I try getting rid of my CNAME with "www" and paste the value from Railway? Thanks in advance!

I would recommend using Cloudflare for this

There is a workaround too but

It's annoying
I saw that one some other posts but would rather do the workaround for now

Cloudflare is much better

We can try the workaround, no idea if it will work ¯_(ツ)_/¯
If I transfer the domain to cloudflare will it let me enter the Railway configuration as is?

Mmm actually I don't know if this is possible on Godaddy

No, you just route your traffic through Cloudflare

You don't need to transfer anything
Ah so GoDaddy keeps the domain hosting and I just route through Cloudflare

Yes
Okay, I have moved to Cloudflare but it is still not working. Using dnschecker.org shows that my site (itsbennie.com) is found with an T type search but is not found on a CNAME type search.
I have entered the Railway DNS details as it said. If you go to my site you'll see it redirect to a Not Found page on Railway.

I would just try recreating the custom domain to get a new one from Railway
Could it be due to the fact that Cloudflare is flattening the CNAME? I dont have an A type entry in my DNS settings and dnschecker sees the A type but not the CNAME
Thank you so much for all the help btw, I'm a novice as you can tell so everytime you response ur doubling what I know haha
