Care to share the domain?

In general some DNS do take longer than others, from my experience Bluehost tends to be on the longer side than shorter. (Typically few hours to days for consistent DNS).

If you share the domain, happy to do some digging, but I'd suspect Railway checks across multiple DNS providers to verify it's truly published and I bet one is being flaky.

Hey i had no idea I entered this as a 10$ bounty i just saw that, it was just a waiting game. it ended up loading . Do I owe you ten bucks or something now? haha, thanks for the offer though!

Haha no you don't have to pay anything, Railway pays out the bounty.

Bounties are a way to have the community answer questions that don't directly related to Railway since the team cannot offer support for issues that don't directly related to the platform.

Fun fact, we only check with Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, but we have a retry system in place that will retry for several hours.

Fair enough- Google tends to be reliable. I’ve implemented similar systems so was using prior experience.

Appreciate the clarity!

Thank you for helping!
