I am unable to see my website though my domain is successfully pointing to a Railway app.

I used Squarespace as my domain, but it has been waiting for the DNS to update for over 72 hours. I checked the DNS using an online checker and it is definitely live.

Hey! Are you sure you've properly set the necessary CNAME with your DNS provider?

Do you mind sharing a screenshot of your squarespace dashboard where you have configured your DNS?

You have a misconfiguration; Your DNS record is to www, which is a subdomain and would resolve to www.jnrcapitalpartners.com, but your configuration in Railway is pointing to the root (jnrcapitalpartners.com).

Please review the Docs on how to set up a www. subdomain that redirects to the root or apex domain: https://docs.railway.com/guides/public-networking#adding-a-root-domain-with-www-subdomain-to-cloudflare

When I did @ for the name, it said that there was an issue, thats why I did www and then I added four separate A records to the root domain ('@'), provided by Squarespace.

I'm confused what needs to change for this to work?

SquareSpace does not support CNAME flattening or dynamic ALIAS records, which are required for root or apex level domains to function on Railway. Please see the recommended workaround in the Docs (direct link).
