Connect your Namecheap Domain

Note: Before you connect your domain - always make sure that ONLY the pages you want to show up in Search Results (the ones you want "google to be able to see") have the "Add To Sitemap" option selected in Page Settings > SEO Info. 

Log into your Namecheap account and you will see the list of all the domains that you have purchased.

Click on "Manage" on the domain that you want to connect.

Select "Advanced DNS" to get to the DNS records settings.

You will see a list of all the records that you currently have, while you can see "Add New Record" at the bottom.

Once you get to the screen where you can add/edit your domain's DNS records you will be adding (or editing) the following 2 records:

1) A RECORD:

You will need to add (or edit) an A Record.

-In the "Host" or "Name" field - add the @ symbol (or leave blank if it does not accept @)

-In the "Value" or "Data" field - add the following numbers: 34.202.63.170

-Hit Save

(Note - you should only have ONE A Record with the Host/Name of @)

2) CNAME RECORD:

You will need to add (or edit) a CNAME Record.

-In the "Host" or "Name" field - add: www

-In the "Value" or "Data" field - add your own domain name without any www or https:// - it should be typed as simply yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain with your actual domain name)

-Hit Save

(Note - you should only have ONE CNAME Record with the Host/Name of www)
