Custom website and namecheap.com DNS Issues

a year ago

I created a custom name with namecheap.com. Followed the instructions creating the CNAME.

About a week after it showed that DNS propagation happened partially but not fully. I could go to my website from my phone just fine, but from the PC It wouldn't show up. It hadn't propagated to some of the big ones within the United states.

Within railway it was stuck with finding the actual DNS changes.

I treid to troubleshoot this with namescheap and they suggested that I use an alias since I don't really care about email. I changed it to Alias and within 30 minutes railway was able to pick it up but now it is stuck in validating ownership of the domain.

Now it's been stuck on validating ownership for about a week. I can hit the site but it does not have SSL so it provides a warning to anybody who goes there.

Any suggestions? Tips?

Hey Overtitus,

Namecheap afaik doesn't provide CNAME flattening, so you would have to use Cloudflare as your nameservers to get your domain working on the platform.

Thanks,

Angelo
