Your Servgrow website already works at its servgrowpro.com address. Pointing your own domain at it makes your real business address, like yourcompany.com, open your new site, while your email keeps working exactly as it does today. At Namecheap it takes about 10 minutes.
New to this? Start with Use Your Own Domain for Your Servgrow Website: it explains what changes, what stays the same, and what we do on our side.
Before you start
You need your Namecheap login.
Do not change your nameservers. You only add or edit two records. Changing nameservers can switch off your email.
Leave your MX and TXT records alone. Those run your email.
These steps work when your domain uses Namecheap's own nameservers (they contain registrar-servers.com). If your records are managed somewhere else, follow the article for that company instead.
Step 1: Open your DNS records
Sign in to Namecheap and select Domain List in the left sidebar.
Click Manage next to your domain.
Open the Advanced DNS tab and find Host Records.
Step 2: Clear the old records
Your domain can only point to one website at a time, so remove whatever points it somewhere else first:
New Namecheap domains come with a URL Redirect Record on @ and a CNAME on www pointing to parkingpage.namecheap.com. Delete both.
Delete any other A, AAAA or redirect record on @ or www.
Step 3: Add the two Servgrow records
Type | Host | Value | TTL |
A | @ | 76.76.21.21 | Default |
A | www | 76.76.21.21 | Default |
Enter exactly these values. Both records point to the same address. Leave TTL at its default.
Type only @ or www in Host. Namecheap adds your domain name on its own.
Save each row with the green check mark, or click Save All Changes.
Step 4: Tell us you are done
Message us from the chat bubble in Servgrow, or reply to the email where we sent you this article, and say your records are in. We finish the switch on our side: your site starts opening at your own domain, gets its security certificate (the padlock) automatically, and your old servgrowpro.com address forwards to it so no link ever breaks.
Most changes show up within an hour. Some take up to 48 hours to reach every network, so if your domain still shows the old site right away, give it a little time.
