Hi! Here’s how you can set up your Namecheap domain to work with your Railway project:

Option 1: Use Namecheap DNS directly

In Railway, go to your project → Settings → Custom Domains.

Enter your domain name.

Railway will show you a CNAME and a TXT record that you need to add.

Log in to your Namecheap account → Domain List → Manage → Advanced DNS.

Add the CNAME and TXT record exactly as Railway specifies.

Wait a few minutes for DNS propagation, then Railway should verify the domain and link it.

Option 2: Use Cloudflare for easier DNS management

This is a popular method because Cloudflare makes managing records easier and can speed up DNS propagation.

Create a Cloudflare account and add your domain.

Cloudflare will give you new nameservers.

Go to Namecheap → Domain List → Manage → Nameservers → choose Custom DNS → paste Cloudflare’s nameservers.

Once the domain points to Cloudflare, go to Railway → Custom Domains and enter your domain.

Railway now allows a one-click setup to automatically add the required CNAME and TXT records to Cloudflare.

Advantages:

Easier DNS record management

Faster propagation

Extra features like HTTPS, caching, and security

Once it’s set up, your Railway project and your domain should be connected.

If this answer helps you, you can mark it as a solution so others can find it too.


can you explain more about the problem you are facing ?
