Custom domain, what to buy?

Given how Railways works, I assume I need to buy ONLY the domain (no hosting). Once I buy the domain, I configure the DNS to point towards myApp.up.railway.app, right? If so, will my links go from looking like this: myApp.up.railway.app/page/332 to this: my-domain.com/page/332 Do I understand this correctly?

Yes, you understand this correctly. Once you buy the domain and configure the DNS to point towards yourApp.up.railway.app, your links will go from looking like myApp.up.railway.app/page/332 to my-domain.com/page/332.

I didn't create a CNAME record. Do I do that at my domain provider?

Is this where I should add CNAME?

I think now I did. Using HTTPS causes a timeout, but HTTP redirects to yawa.up.railway.app (and the address stays at yawa.up). Do i just need to wait for things to catch up?

Alright, I got the first one to work (what was missing was www.). Now I'd like to also redirect from my domain without the www. Is this how I should configure my DNS?

Is it possible that my domain provider just doesn't support redirecting from an address without www ?
