Connect Namecheap to Netlify

Step-by-step DNS configuration with exact records to add.

Go to your Namecheap Dashboard, click "Domain List", then click "Manage" next to your domain.

Click the "Advanced DNS" tab.

Note

Delete any existing A records or CNAME records that conflict with the ones below before adding new records.

This points your root domain to Netlify's load balancer.

Type	Name	Value	TTL
A	@	75.2.60.5	Auto

Point www to your Netlify site's subdomain.

Type	Name	Value	TTL
CNAME	www	your-site-name.netlify.app	Auto

Note

Replace "your-site-name" with your actual Netlify subdomain.

In Netlify, go to Site settings → Domain management → Add custom domain.

Verify your setup

Run: dig yoursite.com +short (should return the expected IP or CNAME)

Visit https://yoursite.com in an incognito window

Check Netlify dashboard — domain should show a green checkmark

Common mistakes

Leaving default parking page DNS records — delete them before adding new ones
Not waiting for propagation (can take up to 48 hours, usually 5-30 minutes)
Using CNAME for root domain (@) — use A record instead
Make sure "DNS" is set to "Namecheap BasicDNS" or "Custom DNS", not "Namecheap Hosting"
