Using Namecheap domains

You can always ask for help, and we can walk you through making these changes, or make the changes for you. 

Option 1 update your domain to use our Nameservers: 

Don't change your nameservers if you already have email or any other custom dns records setup for your domain. Choose option 2 below to update your A record, or contact us for help.

1. Sign in to your Namecheap account.
2.  Select Domain List from the left sidebar and click the Manage button next to your domain 
3. Find the Nameservers section and select "Custom DNS" 
   
4. Click "add nameserver" and enter in our three nameservers:

• ns1.essentialoilylife.net
• ns2.essentialoilylife.net
• ns1.essentialoilylife.org

5. Click the little green check arrow to save.

6. Contact Us, let us know your domain name, and that you've updated your nameservers.
