Why hello there

The @ is the issue

Just type in your root domain name.

Instead of the @!

Let me know if it works!

Can you screenshot the rule without the token present?
btw… while adding a custom domain in railway portal.. what port i shud use
6 months ago
Depends on the port of your app…

Actually, it appears as if GoDaddy doesn't allow root domain cnaming…

I would recommend setting up CloudFlare for proxying

Not sure why you put <> around it, but
6 months ago
GoDaddy does not support root domain CNAME
6 months ago
Not sure. CloudFlare is awesome though. Everyone uses it.

Then you'll see DNS settings, do the same thing but use @, and it will @ctually work

Why do you have an A record with that name?
6 months ago
Remove that A record and make it only a CNAME
i didnt add it. i dont know where it came from.. r u sure it wont cause issues?
6 months ago
yes.
6 months ago
it is pointing to some IP so, it must be going somewhere
6 months ago
you only need to remove the one that uses the root domain
6 months ago
I'm not sure how that's possible but
6 months ago
If you didn't add them they shouldn't be there in the first place
6 months ago
They can't both be A
6 months ago
yeah I have no idea what those are
6 months ago
you can safely get rid of them
6 months ago
What are you hiding if you don't even know what those are
6 months ago
And what am I going to do 👀
6 months ago
cool website

Oh. They're pointing to godaddy's servers.

6 months ago
Yeah if you're replacing that you can delete them

As a CNAME
6 months ago
Nope

6 months ago

Hm?

and random misc personal stuff
6 months ago

just for fun.

This is ridicullous, you can't be serious about requiring ppl to use cloudflare as a proxy to get a custom domain to work. No platform i ever used made this process such a pain in the ass
6 months ago
Not required. At all. Read the conversation please.
