Cannot add root domain to my custom domain
I want to add my railway url to a custom root domain, it asks to fill in 'cname' for type and '@' for name and the url for value. However, at my domain hosting i receive this error when i try to do this: 'A @ record cannot be a CNAME'. Any ideas? the www custom domain is working.

that is not working
i have a domain name: audiogest.app
www.audiogest.app is working because i can fill in 'www' in the name column and type 'cname' in the dns record and enter the url of railway
but for audiogest.app (without www) i can't. my domain hosting says i cannot have '@' as a name in a 'cname' dns record. i also cannot have a url in the 'a' record with name '@'.
it looks like your dns provider doesn't support root level cname aliasing, you will have to switch to nameservers that do, like cloudflare
yea did that, it's working now! thanks
awesome glad you got it working
