Hi — my custom domain is stuck on "Waiting for DNS" (yellow triangle) and
won't verify or issue a certificate, even though DNS is fully correct and
propagated. Could you force a re-verification / cert issuance?
Domain: www.quinsqualitycleaning.com
CNAME target Railway assigned: x1wxp4u1.up.railway.app
DNS is confirmed correct from every resolver, including GoDaddy's own
authoritative nameserver:
- GoDaddy authoritative (ns41.domaincontrol.com): www -> x1wxp4u1.up.railway.app
- Google (8.8.8.8): www -> x1wxp4u1.up.railway.app
- Cloudflare (1.1.1.1): www -> x1wxp4u1.up.railway.app
Symptoms:
-
Railway still shows "Waiting for DNS" for over an hour.
-
Hitting the domain returns HTTP 404 (host not attached), and TLS still
serves the default .up.railway.app certificate (CN=.up.railway.app) —
the Let's Encrypt cert for my domain has never been issued.
It's a single clean CNAME (no conflicting records, no restrictive CAA). The
service works perfectly on its temporary *.up.railway.app URL, so the app
itself is healthy — only the custom domain won't verify.
Things I've already tried:
-
Waited well over an hour with DNS stable.
-
Redeployed the service.
-
Removed and re-added the domain (this only generated a new target each
time and restarted the wait).
Can you please force the domain check / certificate issuance on your end, or
tell me what's blocking verification? Thank you! Got it — so for my domain I need to add a TXT record under
_railway-verify. Can you give me the exact TXT record for MY domain
(www.quinsqualitycleaning.com)? Specifically:
- The exact record NAME/HOST (the _railway-verify... for my domain)
- The exact VALUE/token I should put in it
I'll add it at GoDaddy right away.

You need a TXT record at _railway-verify.www.quinsqualitycleaning.com. You can get the content for it through the dashboard when adding your domain, or from the verificationToken property under status with the API.
