Namecheap setup

Connect a Namecheap domain

Add two DNS records in Namecheap's Advanced DNS tab to point your domain at your Artist Kit page.

Before you start

Connect your domain in the Artist Kit editor first (Settings → Domain on a Pro plan). That reveals your exact records — especially your unique www value, which you'll copy below.

The records to add

TypeNameValue
A@216.150.1.1
CNAMEwwwthe value shown in your dashboard

The A record points your bare domain (yourdomain.com) at Artist Kit. Use 216.150.1.1.

Your www value is unique to your page — copy the exact value shown in Settings → Domain. It looks like a string of letters and numbers followed by .vercel-dns-016.com.

Both records make www.yourdomain.com and yourdomain.com work. SSL is issued automatically once DNS propagates — usually a few minutes.

Step-by-step

1

Sign in and manage your domain

Log in to Namecheap, open Domain List, and select Manage next to the domain you want to use.

2

Open the Advanced DNS tab

Switch to the Advanced DNS tab and find the Host Records section. Make sure the nameservers are set to Namecheap BasicDNS.

3

Add the A record

Choose Add New Record. Set Type to A Record, Host to @, Value to 216.150.1.1, and TTL to Automatic.

4

Add the CNAME record

Add New Record again. Set Type to CNAME Record, Host to www, and Target to the exact www value from your Artist Kit editor (it ends in .vercel-dns-016.com).

5

Remove conflicting records and save

Delete Namecheap's default parking-page or URL Redirect records and any CNAME on www that conflicts, then save with the green checkmark.

After saving, DNS changes usually take a few minutes to propagate. Artist Kit verifies the connection automatically and issues SSL once it's live.
