Change Your Namecheap Nameservers

Namecheap, an ICANN-accredited registrar, has issued over 5 million domains and is a popular choice among WordPress users due to their low-cost WordPress hosting, excellent customer service, and anti-SOPA stance. Since 2001, they’ve been assisting folks with getting their names online.

When referring your domain to Kinsta, you have two choices: use an A record or use Kinsta’s premium DNS functionality with Amazon Route 53. The second technique necessitates the modification of your Namecheap nameservers. To point your Namecheap nameservers to us, follow the instructions below (or rather to the nameservers we provide you from Amazon).

Change Namecheap Nameservers to Point to Kinsta
1st step
To begin, go to your Namecheap account dashboard and log in.

Step 2: Login to Namecheap
Click “Manage” next to the domain you want to point to Kinsta.

Namecheap is in charge of domain management.
Step 3: Manage your domain with Namecheap.
Your domain’s Namecheap nameservers will be set to Namecheap’s BasicDNS by default, which you will need to alter. Select “Custom DNS” from the menu in the nameservers section of the “Domain” tab. If you previously had custom nameservers from a previous WordPress host, simply update them in the next step.

The nameservers may take a few minutes to spread throughout the network. To check if your nameservers are pointing correctly, use a free program like What’s My DNS. If you want your WordPress site to work properly, you’ll need to finish adding your DNS entries in the Kinsta dashboard.
