When Railway shows "Validating domain ownership", it means Railway is checking whether the DNS records for your domain match the records it expects.

Make sure to add a TXT record at _railway-verify.<DOMAIN> where <DOMAIN> is the domain you’re trying to add. If you’re using the API, you can find the content for the record from the verificationToken property under status.

DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours, so if you just added the records, give it some time. You can verify your records are correct using dnschecker.org. Make sure you added the CNAME or A record exactly as Railway specified in your domain settings.

"Validating domain ownership" is mostly caused by a missing/misconfigured TXT record. Railway uses TXT records to verify domain ownership. So, you need to add it to _railway-verify.www.example.com. If you are using the API to add your custom domain, you can find it in verificationToken under status
