Hi,

You may have to wait for DNS propagation to be effective (it can take up to 48 hours).

  1. Check whether the TXT record is actually published

Run:

nslookup -type=TXT meeracreations.com

or

dig TXT meeracreations.com

If Railway's expected TXT record does not appear, then the DNS provider never published it correctly.

  1. Verify where the TXT record was created

A very common mistake:

Railway asks for something like:

Type Name Value

TXT _railway railway-domain-verification=xxxxx

But the DNS provider creates:

_railway.meeracreations.com.meeracreations.com

instead of

_railway.meeracreations.com

Check the DNS zone carefully.

  1. Check if the TXT was added on the wrong hostname

Many users add TXT on:

www.meeracreations.com

while Railway expects:

meeracreations.com

or vice versa.

The TXT hostname must exactly match what Railway displays.

  1. Verify nameservers

Sometimes the domain owner edits DNS in:

GoDaddy

while the domain actually uses:

Cloudflare nameservers

In that case the records shown in GoDaddy never reach the internet.

Check:

whois meeracreations.com

or use a DNS checker.

  1. Check for DNS propagation

TXT records can take several hours.

Use:

DNSChecker TXT lookup

Google Admin Toolbox Dig

and check whether the TXT is visible globally.

  1. Check if the CNAME and TXT are on the same host

Example:

www CNAME railway.app

@ TXT railway-domain-verification=abc123

This is valid.

But:

www CNAME railway.app

verify TXT railway-domain-verification=abc123

will fail if Railway expects the TXT on @.


Neither a CNAME nor a TXT record is present when I checked your DNS records. You need to add the CNAME record at www, and the TXT record at _railway-verify.www.meeracreations.com.

if my domain is meeracreations.com then i need to update as _railway-verify.meeracreations.com?

Yes, your TXT record would be at _railway-verify.meeracreations.com.

You can read more about adding a root domain here: https://docs.railway.com/networking/domains/working-with-domains#adding-a-root-domain
