Connect your domain at Namecheap
Add two records at Namecheap so your site works whether visitors type
yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com. It takes a couple of minutes.
Record 1: your root domain
Record type: A
Name / Host: @ (means your root domain)
Value / Points to: 138.197.57.119
Record 2: www
Record type: CNAME
Name / Host: www
Value / Points to: bizporch.com
Step 1: add the A record (your root domain)
- Sign in to Namecheap and click Domain List in the left sidebar.
- Click Manage next to your domain.
- Open the Advanced DNS tab.
- Under Host Records, click Add New Record.
- Set Type to A Record. In Host, type
@. In Value, enter 138.197.57.119. Leave TTL on Automatic. - Click the green checkmark to save the row (or Save All Changes).
Step 2: add the www record
Add this so www.yourdomain.com reaches your site too (we redirect it to your main address automatically):
Add New Record → Type CNAME Record → Host www → Value bizporch.com → save with the green checkmark.

Good to know
- New records usually take about 30 minutes to take effect.
- The Host Records section only appears if your domain uses Namecheap's BasicDNS, PremiumDNS, or FreeDNS. If you use custom nameservers, edit DNS there.
- Delete any old A record or URL Redirect on
@ first, or it may conflict with the new one.
Last step: once you’ve added the record, open your BizPorch dashboard, go to
Custom Domain, and enter your domain. We check your DNS automatically and turn on
a free security certificate as soon as it points here. DNS changes can take a few minutes to a few hours.
