DETAILS

Hi friends, today I am going to share how to register and add new nameserver on namecheap.com domain.For a domain name to work for website and email, it requires properly configured DNS (Domain Name System). Without that Internet users cannot load the website from the correct server or send you email. When you register a domain, you have to configure DNS servers (also called name servers) at the domain registrar. These are typically two hostnames in the format of ns1.yourhostingservice.com and ns2.yourhostingservice.com. This basically delegates the DNS service for your domain to those name servers from where every aspect of domain, subdomains, and email can be controlled.

1.Sign in your account.

2.Go to dashboard.

3. Select Domain List from the left sidebar and click the Manage button next to your domain.

4.Click on "Advance DNS" button from top menubar.

5.Go to bottom of the page and click on "ADD NAMESERVER" from Register Nameserver of PERSONAL DNS SERVER section.

6.Seclet ns1 and insert ip address that you got from your hosting and click "done". 7.seclet ns2 and insert ip address that you got from your hosting and click "done".

8.Click on add new record from HOST RECORDS section.

9.Select "a record", insert ns1 in host field, insert your ip address in ip address field.click on save change.

10. Again Select "a record", insert ns2 in host field, insert your ip address in ip address field.click on save change.

11. Go to Domain section from top menubar.

12. Find the Nameservers section and select your preferred option from the drop-down menu. Save changes using the corresponding icon.

You can choose from four possible options:

Namecheap BasicDNS - if you wish to point your domain to our default nameservers (v2): dns1.registrar-servers.com dns2.registrar-servers.com

Namecheap BackupDNS - if you wish to point your domain to our default nameservers (v1): dns1.name-services.com dns2.name-services.com dns3.name-services.com dns4.name-services.com dns5.name-services.com

Namecheap Web Hosting DNS - if you have a shared hosting plan with us and wish to point your domain to our shared hosting nameservers: dns1.namecheaphosting.com dns2.namecheaphosting.com

CustomDNS - if you wish to point your domain to custom nameservers (for example, your Personal DNS servers or third-party hosting nameservers if your domain is hosted with another DNS provider.

NOTE: Do *not* select "Namecheap Shared Hosting" or input dns1.namecheaphosting.com/ dns2.namecheaphosting.com nameservers unless you have a shared hosting plan with us.
