We have concluded that: DNS services that do not allow TXT records alongside CNAME records, or that add A records instead of solely a CNAME record, are not compatible with Replit. We are working on updating our documentation to reflect this limitation, and we are also investigating long-term solutions to this issue. Here are some additional details about the compatibility issues with some DNS services: TXT records are used to add additional information to a domain name, such as security recor…
