Get IP to create subdomain on Godaddy
I'd like to create a subdomain in Godaddy that links to a nodejs backend app deployed on Railway.
For this GoDaddy is asking me for an IP, where can I find this?

oh I see
you don't want to use the ip's of railway apps as the ip's are dynamic, you'll get invalid ssl errors, there's no guarantee the ip won't change between deployments, etc. you want to use a cname, GoDaddy does support cname aliasing subdomains so you're fine there, they just don't support cname aliasing at the apex, for that you will want to use different nameservers that do support it, like cloudflare's nameservers
Thanks! Can you confirm what is meant by cname aliasing at the apex? How I can understand if what they GoDaddy offers is sufficient for my application?
that's a simple term for a Google search
Thanks it was super simple to setup using CNAME!
