I have some issues setting up my dns settings and running the website on railway. I share screenshots of my dns settings in namecheap. as I cant set cname as @ (root) they advised me to set it as "alias". Everyone advices to use cloudflare cname flattening but I think directing people to another service provider (cloudflare here) for the same issue should not be the only solution railway provides for people, instead it should solve this issue technically, as it become a meaningless headache for everyone according to my experience in the forum. (take this as a feedback note for railway team). At the moment my custom domains doesn't open the website. I want to verify if my settings are correct according to railway docs (I have read it and did my best to comply)if not get some solution except going to cloudflare.
Out of 3 domains (1 generated , 2 custom) railway generated link works ok : bgremover-production-1ddb.up.railway.app

Accessing your URL throws a 400 error. I would check your deployment logs and see if there are any errors present.

similar to the comment above, alias isn't recommended for railway workflows. https://docs.railway.com/guides/public-networking#adding-a-custom-domain you'll need to use Cloudflare to set up DNS records

generated domain works fine, it means no problem with deploy.

as I said above a service user should not be left with single solution (cloudflare in this case) if the documentation claims other services (mine is namecheap) are also integrated with railway.
