Connect Namecheap to Vercel
Step-by-step DNS configuration with exact records to add.
1
Log into Namecheap
Go to your Namecheap Dashboard, click "Domain List", then click "Manage" next to your domain.
2
Open DNS settings
Click the "Advanced DNS" tab.
Note
Delete any existing A records or CNAME records that conflict with the ones below before adding new records.
3
Add A Record for root domain
This points your root domain (e.g., yoursite.com) to Vercel's servers.
| Type | Name | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | @ | 76.76.21.21 | Auto |
4
Add CNAME for www subdomain
This points www.yoursite.com to Vercel's DNS.
| Type | Name | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNAME | www | cname.vercel-dns.com | Auto |
5
Add your domain in Vercel
Go to your Vercel project → Settings → Domains → type your domain → click "Add".
Note
Vercel will verify the DNS records. It may take a few minutes for verification to complete.

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"
