ATRAX: How to Make Your Website Work Without “www” in Namecheap

If someone types your domain (without the “www”), you can set it up so it automatically redirects to your www version (for example, from yourdomain.com → www.yourdomain.com).

Step 1: Log in to Namecheap

Go to namecheap.com and log into your account.

Step 2: Open Domain Management

From the left sidebar, click Domain List.
Find your domain name and click Manage.

Step 3: Go to Advanced DNS

At the top, click the Advanced DNS tab.

Step 4: Add a Redirect Record

Scroll down to the Host Records section.
Click Add New Record.
Enter the following details:
- Type → URL Redirect Record
- Host → @ (represents your domain without “www”)
- Value → https://www.yourdomain.com (replace with your actual domain)
- Redirect Type → Permanent (301)
- TTL →Automatic

Step 5: Save

Click ✅ Save All Changes.

Step 6: Wait for Propagation

It may take a few minutes, or up to 24–48 hours, for the redirect to fully take effect.

✅ What This Fixes

Visitors who type your domain without “www” will automatically be redirected to the www version.
Subpages will also work (for example:
yourdomain.com/contact → www.yourdomain.com/contact).
