Custom domain, what to buy? | Railway | Page 1

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'm at checkdomain.com and the only fields I have are these:

#

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

#

Is this where I should add CNAME?

got it like this now

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?
