Hello Railway Support, I’m trying to connect my custom domain [**tinakuafor.com**](http://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_](http://tinakuafor.com) Current CNAME: [_gx5lic62.up.railway.app_](http://gx5lic62.up.railway.app)![](https://station-server.railway.com/attachments/att_01k9t8edycfvpvtq91jvjf51xt)![](https://station-server.railway.com/attachments/att_01k9t8ef7ee4fs3qas2r3scbb2)

Hey, it is recommended to change your domain's nameservers to Cloudflare's by following this [guide](https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/setup/) and use Cloudflare to set your DNS records. Cloudflare supports CNAME flattening which allows you to use your root domain.

GoDaddy doesn’t support CNAME @ record – need alternative (A record or CNAME for www)

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!
