Generating CSR code
I am using name.com for my domain and I am hosting with railway. I dont use CNAME in name.com but I am using the A tag, reason being MX and CNAME to different places wasn't supported in name.com.
My workaround was to use url forward of my domain address to my railway app generated domain.
I had to buy SSL from name.com but they are asking me for CSR code, from railway as I am hosting my website from there. Does anyone know, how to do it?

thats far too complex, simply use cloudflare's nameservers as they support root level cnames unlike name.com. then railway will generate you an ssl cert.

Thanks for the prompt reply, do I have to migrate my domain to cloudflare? Hmm as I do have already other setups done in name.com
simply use cloudflare's nameserversaka no domain transfer needed
Sure, I can give it a try
I switched to cloudfare, I have two domains, like app.example.com and example.com.
in cloudfare I did set CNAME of the above to point to url railway provides on each service at the
Public Networking section.
The problem now is that I am able to access app.example.com but example.com renders This site can’t be reached DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
I have watched a couple of videos, I see that some people have to set the A record, and then have to put ip v4 of the hosting (but railway doesn't provide this). Also they then added a CNAME www and point it to @. I wonder do I need to do this
@Brody have you ever come across this, that the website returns DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN error
it's simply a matter of waiting, please do not watch videos with incorrect information, you must always use cnames when it comes to railway
