Hello Railway Support,

I’m trying to connect my custom domain tinakuafor.com (registered on GoDaddy) to my Railway app.

GoDaddy does not support CNAME records at the root level (@).
They asked me to contact my hosting provider (Railway) to get either:

a CNAME record for “www” (not “@”), or
a static A record (IP address) that I can use instead.

Could you please provide a valid record so I can complete the setup?

Thank you!
Project: Tinawebsitesi
Domain: tinakuafor.com
Current CNAME: gx5lic62.up.railway.app

Hey, it is recommended to change your domain's nameservers to Cloudflare's by following this guide and use Cloudflare to set your DNS records. Cloudflare supports CNAME flattening which allows you to use your root domain.
