How do I connect my Namecheap domain to Netlify?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:58 pm

If you’re looking to connect your Namecheap domain to Netlify, there are two main ways to do so: using a proxy or using Netlify’s domain connector.

Using a Proxy

If you’re using a proxy, you’ll first need to set it up to proxy traffic to and from your Netlify account. Once you’ve done this, you can connect your Namecheap domain to your Netlify account using the proxy settings.

To connect your Namecheap domain using a proxy, follow these steps:

In your Namecheap account, open the Domains page. Click the name of the domain you want to connect to Netlify. In the Proxy settings section, enter the proxy settings for your Netlify account. The proxy settings for your Netlify account will look something like this: https://your-proxy-address:443 .

Replace your-proxy-address and 443 with the appropriate values. Click Save.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, connecting your Namecheap domain to Netlify can result in data loss. Make sure to backup your data before proceeding.

Once you’ve completed these steps, your Namecheap domain will be connected to your Netlify account and you’ll be able to manage your site’s content and settings from within Netlify.

Using Netlify’s Domain Connector

If you’d rather not use a proxy, you can connect your Namecheap domain to your Netlify account using Netlify’s domain connector. To do this, you’ll first need to create a domain connector account.

Once you’ve created your domain connector account, you’ll need to add your Namecheap domain to it. To do this, follow these steps:

In your Namecheap account, open the Domains page. In the Domain settings section, enter the domain settings for your Namecheap domain. The domain settings for your Namecheap domain will look something like this: Namecheap.
