Root Domain servi.co.il Cannot Use CNAME - Need Alternative DNS Setup

Hi Railway team,

I’m trying to connect my root domain (servi.co.il) to my Railway project.

My DNS provider does not allow setting a CNAME record on the root domain (@), because it overrides other records like MX. They told me I cannot use a CNAME for the main domain.

What is the correct way to point my root domain to Railway in this case?

Can you provide A records (IP address) or another supported method for apex domain connection?

Thank you.

Railway does not provide static inbound IPs for you to use as A records for custom domains.

Have you seen the Working with Domains docs?

It's recommended to use Cloudflare's DNS as they support CNAME flattening.

Also, Railway only supports CNAME records, not A records.
