When creating a record on Namecheap, you first need to create an account. Once you have created your account, you will need to login. Once you have logged in, you will be taken to the account overview page. On this page, you will need to select the domain name you want to create a record for.
You will then be taken to the Domains page. On this page, you will need to select the type of record you want to create. The following are the types of records you can create on Namecheap:.
1. DNS Records
2. Email Addresses
3. Hostnames
4. CNAME Records
5. MX Records
6. A Records
7. PTR Records
8. SRV Records

Once you have selected the type of record you want to create, you will be taken to the Record Details page. On this page, you will need to enter the information required to create the record. The following are the information required to create a DNS record on Namecheap:
1. Make sure you know the correct values for each field. The values for each field will depend on the type of record you are creating. For example, if you are creating an A record, you will need to enter the IP address in the “Value” field.
2. Be careful when entering the TTL value. The TTL (Time To Live) value determines how long the record will be cached by DNS servers. If you enter a TTL value that is too low, your record may not be propagated to all DNS servers. On the other hand, if you enter a TTL value that is too high, your record may be cached for too long and you may experience delays when changes to the record are propagated.
3. Make sure you select the correct “Record Type”. The most common types of records are A, CNAME, and MX records.
1. Name: This is the name of the record.
2. Type: This is the type of record.
3. TTL: This is the time to live for the record.
4. Data: This is the data for the record.
5. Priority: This is the priority of the record.
6. Minimum TTL: This is the minimum time to live for the record.
7. Name servers: This is a list of name servers for the record.
8. A record requires two name servers.
9. The name servers must be specified in the order they are listed in the name server list.
10. The name servers must be specified as IPv4 addresses.
Once you have entered the information required to create the record, you will be taken to the Save Record page. On this page, you will need to enter a name for the record. You can choose to have the record automatically created, or you can manually create the record.
Once you have entered a name for the record, you will be taken to the Record Status page. On this page, you will be able to see the status of the record.
