Add an NS record - Namecheap

hanging the DNS for your domain is a straightforward process that involves the following steps:

1. Log in to your Namecheap account.

2. From the left sidebar, select Domain List and click on the Manage button next to your domain:



3. In the Nameservers section, select your preferred option from the drop-down menu and click on the green checkmark to save the changes:


 

NOTE: Nameservers are part of the Domain Name System (DNS) database that acts as a directory for devices and the IP addresses attached to them. When registering nameservers, an IP address is assigned to them, and unregistered nameservers cannot work correctly with some domains.

There are four options to choose from:

• Namecheap BasicDNS: If you want to point your domain to Namecheap's default DNS, use the following nameservers:
   
  • dns1.registrar-servers.com
  • dns2.registrar-servers.com

• Namecheap Web Hosting DNS: Use this option if you have a Shared Hosting plan with Namecheap and want to point your domain to our hosting nameservers:
   
  • dns1.namecheaphosting.com
  • dns2.namecheaphosting.com

  NOTE: Once the nameservers are changed, all the custom DNS records for your domain will be overwritten to our hosting ones. You can recreate them in your cPanel Zone Editor and Email Routing menu.

• CustomDNS: If you want to point your domain to custom nameservers (for example, your Personal DNS servers or third-party hosting nameservers), fill in the nameservers provided by your hosting or third-party DNS provider and click on the green checkmark to save the changes:
