Adding a DNS record at Namecheap

First make sure Namecheap actually serves your DNS: records only work where your domain's nameservers point. If your domain is registered here but uses another company's nameservers, add the records there instead.

  1. Open Domain List, click Manage next to your domain, then Advanced DNS.
  2. Click Add New Record and choose TXT Record or CNAME Record, as your provider asks.
  3. For Host enter the host (for DMARC: _dmarc), paste the value and click the checkmark to save.

Only one DMARC record may exist per domain. If _dmarc already has one, edit it instead of adding a second.

Changes usually appear within an hour, longer if an old record had a long TTL. Then check your domain.

Steps are typical; menus change. If something doesn't match, check Namecheap's own help pages.
