Hello there,
Im using fast hosts for my custom domain and your CNAME which gave me @ doesn't work with it. I really need help on how to link my domain to this. I added the TXT but the CNAME isn't possible for me as the name cannot be "@".

Your domain ehpse.com is a root/apex domain, and Fasthosts does not support CNAME flattening, which is required to point a root domain to Railway. As described in our custom domains documentation, the workaround is to change your domain's nameservers to Cloudflare (which supports CNAME flattening for free), or you can use a subdomain like www.ehpse.com instead, since subdomains can use standard CNAME records without any limitation. Your domain also still needs the TXT verification record at _railway-verify.ehpse.com.

Your domain ehpse.com is still missing both DNS records: the CNAME is not detected and the TXT verification record at _railway-verify.ehpse.com is not yet verified. Since Fasthosts doesn't support CNAME records on root/apex domains, you can either use a subdomain like www.ehpse.com instead, or change your domain's nameservers to Cloudflare (free plan works) by following Cloudflare's nameserver setup guide, which will let you add a CNAME at the root. Our custom domains documentation covers both approaches in detail.
