Question About Godaddy domain
I have a domain on Godaddy setup with a cname record pointing to my railway.app dns target. It works!
But that is contrary to this help link: https://help.railway.app/questions/dns-update-issue-f5489bf5 that suggests you need to use Cloudflare's nameservers if you have a domain with Godaddy.
The domain name is https://chandigarh.band/. I need to know why this is working and if it is intended to work for future projects.
Thank you

DNS update issue
Hi all,I added my DNS information to GoDaddy to enable my purchased domain, but it's taking too long and I haven't received any updates in Railway. Has anyone else faced a similar issue?

GoDaddy does not support root CNAMEs meaning you're using an ALIAS, we do not officially support that, so while it works, it will break whenever we change the proxy address, and we will do that at some point.
