Hello,
I have a domain: urly.ws, I need my railway app to be accesibile for
https://urly.ws
What Railway suggests is that I update my DNS records with:
CNAME - @ - n9lo7u7O.up.railway.app.
Now, all of that is fine, unless you decide that you want to have emails, I've been fighting with protonmail for the past 2 days, only to find out that
"there is also a CNAME record with the hostname as @, A CNAME record to a bare domain will suppress all other records including the mail records." - Namecheap customer support
Meaning IF you decide to use your root domain with RAILWAY, it's impossible for you to also have emails with the same domain.
Any way I could solve this issue?

Use cloudflare's CNAME flattening with their proxy, that way you won't have a CNAME at the root, you would end up with an A record at the root.

Ehh.. Sadly Cloudflare doesn't support "ws" domain extension, and other DNS providers can be costly.

You might not be able to buy a .ws domain from them, but you can definitely use their nameservers with a .ws domain, same goes for .app domains, and that's exactly what Railway does, railway.app is registered with namecheap but DNS is managed by cloudflare.

Hi.
I've registered my domain by inserting the CNAME that Railway indicates, but I still can't access the site.
That is, my site is not yet public, even though I set it that way.
On the other hand, I haven't been able to do the deploy, I always get: Deployment Failed during process
