Overview

The single most-asked technical question in CW-2: how do I point my Namecheap domain at Vercel? Five minutes, two screens, one DNS change.

At Vercel

Project → Settings → Domains → Add your domain. Vercel shows you two nameservers: ns1.vercel-dns.com and ns2.vercel-dns.com.

At Namecheap

Domain List → Manage → Nameservers section → switch from Namecheap BasicDNS to Custom DNS. Enter the two Vercel nameservers exactly. Save (green checkmark).

Wait and verify

30 minutes to 24 hours. Use dnschecker.org with NS type to confirm propagation. Vercel auto-verifies; SSL follows within minutes.
