DNS setup issues

Hi, I'm having trouble adding a custom domain to my app. I purchased a domain on Hostinger and added the CNAME and ANAME records. I know that DNS setup can take up to 72 hours, but in my project, I've been getting the message: "waiting for DNS setup" for multiple days. I'll be super thankful for any advice :)

Could you try to remove the CNAME from your Hostinger and remove the domain from Railway and then add it back after?

Also keep in mind Hostinger doesn't support CNAME on the root of your domain, so you can't add a CNAME with @ as the target, if you're setting it to a subdomain then that's fine though

Sure, I understand. I've tried removing and adding the CNAME a few times and it didn't work. Do you recommend any other domain provider, that supports railway integration well?

Railway requires you to use CNAME records, assuming you are trying to set a root-level domain, ANAME records won't work for anything. subsequently, Hostinger does not support root-level CNAME records, you would need to switch your nameservers to someone who does support root-level CNAMES, like cloudflare
