Setting A record for Custom Domain

Hi, I'd like to set an A record for my domain.

Example:

  1. www.domain.com = using your CNAME xxx.up.railway.app

  2. domain.com = using A record 66.33.22.xx

For now, I have setup both using your CNAME, but would like #2 to be an A record with static IP instead.

May I ask how should I configure this differently to obtain an IP address for A record?

Thanks.

Unfortunately these threads did not provide a solution to my issue.

And for context, we noticed another customer of yours managed to set a CNAME for www and A record for the apex. See screenshot.

Pls advise how should the configuration be to achieve this?

Hi, any advice or updates Brody?


im pretty sure that railway doesn’t provide a static IP for A records (iirc static IPs can be enabled but not for what youre looking for) all custom domains must use CNAME records pointing to your *.up.railway.app domain (whatever is given to you by railway). if your DNS provider needs an A record for the root domain, set an ALIAS or ANAME record that resolve's to railway's CNAME target

but if you refer to the screenshot i attached, that owner had managed to do so... as its A record was resolving to a static IP while its CNAME was pointing to *up.railway.app. I'm trying to replicate what that person did.


i think you might be referring to outbound traffic (they can be enabled at any service i believe) as this is pretty normal, otherwise what railway has is this docs about adding a custom domain
