N/A

is it possible to get an A type with the IP of the server instead?

squarespace likely doesn't support root level domain names then
I'd recommend using cloudflare as a DNS server instead
you can do that by going to cloudflare, signing up, adding your website and following the prompts

once that's done you can add the CNAME on @ on Cloudflare and use it on Railway
alternatively, you could just use a subdomain, like www.example.com if you don't want to do allat

yea i ended up setting it up on cloudflare, except it wont come up…

it says an ssl certificate hasnt been issued

and on railway it hasnt detected a DNS update either

shouldnt the change happen basically instantly?

also squarespace wont even let me change the nameservers to the cloudflare ones bra…..

no it can actually take up to 2 days for DNS changes to be made

ohhh ok i see u

how're you on cloudflare then?

idk i jus skipped the part where it told me to delete the squaredspace nameservers

according to chatpgt it dont matter the only difference is my website will get fried if it gets ddosed

since it wont be protected

which ion get why arents nameservers just used for browsers to find your website

ohhh ok so i just realised it literally wont host the website if i dont change the nameservers

yo ok miraculously it let me change the nameservers just now

thanks for your help bro 🙏

yea you'll need to actually change your nameserver to cloudflare
what you're basically doing is telling traffic that if they want information about your domain, they should look for it in this server (which you'll want to set as cloudflare's server), then cloudflare's server will tell traffic to find your website at the railway domain that you were given, which itself well internally route your traffic to your container

happy to help 🫡

ok yeah that makes more sense

its up on cloudflare now but railway still cant detect it is that normal?
