How to Add a Domain From Namecheap to Cloudflare

In this scenario we’ll be going over a simple process of connecting NameCheap domain to Cloudflare DNS Hosting. Let’s assume the following:

• We already have an account with NameCheap. If not, create one
• We already have an an account with Cloudflare. If not, create one
• Our app name is Crabcoin, and we’ve registered crabcoin.cc on NameCheap.

This process is two-step, first part is done on Cloudflare and the second one on NameCheap. Let’s start!

Cloudflare (Part 1)

Log in into a Cloudflare account.

Add a site

Click on “Add a Site” button

Enter crabcoin.cc and click Continue

Wait a bit until there is another Continue button, click it.

Change nameservers

Note the Cloudflare’s Nameservers, they will be required on the next step.

. In our case it’s going to be:

• corey.ns.cloudflare.com
• hazel.ns.cloudflare.com

Select Free plan and click Continue

NameCheap

Log in into a NameCheap Account and click on _Manage"

In the Nameservers section select Custom DNS

Enter the nameservers from the previous step and click the checkmark icon.

Cloudflare (Part 2)

Validate settings

Cick on Done, check nameservers

Receive confirmation settings

After some time (to me it was instant) an email should arrive saying that Cloudflare has been activated

That’s it!
