DNS guide
Adding email records in Namecheap
Namecheap uses relative host names: @ for the root domain, _dmarc for DMARC.
Steps
- Open Domain List and click Manage next to your domain.
- Go to the Advanced DNS tab and click Add New Record under Host Records.
- Choose the type, enter the Host and Value, keep TTL on Automatic and click the green check mark.
Watch out for
- If you use Namecheap's BasicDNS, records only apply while the Nameservers setting is Namecheap BasicDNS.
- MX records for mailboxes live under Mail Settings → Custom MX on the same tab.
