Can you explain what the issue is here? The error shows that you have a different CNAME set on the Ionos page. Can you screenshot that page? It might just need a second to propagate.

Also, if you want to use the root domain, which you should, you can proxy through Cloudflare. I know they also propagate almost instantly.

From Ionos?

tough inlet Aug 23, 2025, 9:05 PM

#

In response to what?

delicate maple Aug 23, 2025, 9:06 PM

That www value doesn't match either of the Railway wanted ones

pine ocean Aug 23, 2025, 9:07 PM

#

thats what railway told me to do

#

cname

#

www

#

and this adress w0gx4pqn.up.railway.app

tough inlet Aug 23, 2025, 9:08 PM

#

Railway says to put the value next to the clipboard there. That is not what it says.

Regardless, it's working. Try in an incognito tab.

pine ocean Aug 23, 2025, 9:09 PM

#

Still not working

#

i have a friend who tried, there it is also working

tough inlet Aug 23, 2025, 9:09 PM

#

Yeah. It's fine. Leave it how it is and try again yourself later.

#

Some caching issue

pine ocean Aug 23, 2025, 9:09 PM

#

and on my phone which is not connected with wifi its also woking

delicate maple Aug 23, 2025, 9:10 PM

#

Your CNAME is correctly set to w0gx4pqn.up.railway.app. Wait for some time for local caches to refresh

pine ocean Aug 23, 2025, 9:10 PM

#

okay fine thanks

delicate maple Aug 23, 2025, 9:11 PM

#

See, it has a TTL of 3600 = 1 hour

pine ocean Aug 23, 2025, 9:11 PM

#

So that means it can take 1 hour?

delicate maple Aug 23, 2025, 9:11 PM

#

so wait for at least that amount of time

So right now i only got www.hiddenmetix.com, the problem with ionos is i cant put a second cname record for hiddenmetrix.com. is there a solution without a second cname record?

You should be using Cloudflare for DNS

#

It’s like the only service that does it sane-ly

pine ocean Aug 23, 2025, 9:14 PM

#

can i just switch to cloudflare?

#

my domain is purchased in ionos

tough inlet Aug 23, 2025, 9:14 PM

#

pine ocean my domain is purchased in ionos

That has nothing to do with it

#

Just setup Cloudflare DNS

#

I have 4 domains, none of them are purchased with cloudflare, all of which use cloudflare for DNS

#

And I pay Cloudflare $0/m

delicate maple Aug 23, 2025, 9:16 PM

#

Yes, you can. It is a matter of creating a Cloudflare account, setting up the domain and preparing its DNS records. After that is done, you change the DNS records of type NS in ionos and after some time Cloudflare will be your authoritative DNS provider

pine ocean Aug 23, 2025, 9:16 PM

#

didnt knew this is possible

tough inlet Aug 23, 2025, 9:16 PM

#

Cloudflare is awesome

pine ocean Aug 23, 2025, 9:17 PM

#

so there im able to make 2 cname records?

tough inlet Aug 23, 2025, 9:17 PM

#

pine ocean so there im able to make 2 cname records?

Yeah and you can do it in the root instead of using the extremely outdated www

pine ocean Aug 23, 2025, 9:19 PM

#

but isnt it also possible to do it with ionos and your static outbound IP. With 2 A records?

tough inlet Aug 23, 2025, 9:19 PM

#

I have no idea

#

But there isn’t anything Ionos can do that CF can’t

#

Railway does not have a static IP for your services

pine ocean Aug 23, 2025, 9:20 PM

#

yeah im just too lazy to switch to cf

#

I can enable one

delicate maple Aug 23, 2025, 9:20 PM

#

No, those are OUTBOUND IPs for when your service connects to the outside. THere is no static IP for you to use as an A record

tough inlet Aug 23, 2025, 9:20 PM

#

pine ocean yeah im just too lazy to switch to cf

Being able to not use www should be enough to convince you LOL

Alright, thank you guys! Will do that then. But right now the website is working as it is right?

tough inlet Aug 23, 2025, 9:22 PM

#

pine ocean Alright, thank you guys! Will do that then. But right now the website is working...

On www, yes

pine ocean Aug 23, 2025, 9:22 PM

#

yeah

tough inlet Being able to not use www should be enough to convince you LOL

Honestly, I would put the onus on Railway here to provide a static IP instead of forcing everyone to use the nonstandard DNS features that only Cloudflare and a few others support.
