Set up your DNS at Namecheap

Repoint Namecheap's nameservers to the two cripta.to shows you — cripta.to then manages every record for you. What does this mean?

1. Sign in to Namecheap and open Domain List.
2. Click Manage next to your domain.
3. Find the Nameservers section on the Domain tab.
4. Change the dropdown from “Namecheap BasicDNS” to “Custom DNS”.
5. Enter the two nameservers cripta.to shows you (add a row for the second one).
6. Click the green checkmark to save.

Keep Namecheap as your DNS host and add the records below yourself. What does this mean?

How to add a record at Namecheap

1. Sign in to Namecheap and open Domain List.
2. Click Manage next to your domain, then open the Advanced DNS tab.
3. In the Host Records section, click Add New Record.
4. Choose the record Type, fill in the fields, and click the green checkmark to save.
5. For the MX record, first set Mail Settings (above Host Records) to “Custom MX”.

1 · Delegate the mail subdomain (NS)

Add an NS record for each nameserver cripta.to shows you, all on the host mail. This hands the mail.example.com subdomain to cripta.to so it can manage the server's own records (like its A record and TLS) without touching the rest of your domain.

2 · Add the root-domain mail records

The webmail A record is only needed if you enabled webmail. The mail server's own A record is handled by cripta.to through the NS delegation above — you do not add it here.

3 · Add the SRV autodiscovery records

SRV records let mail apps (especially Android and Thunderbird) find your IMAP and submission servers automatically. Namecheap splits an SRV record into separate fields — enter them exactly as shown. Add both records below.

If your Namecheap panel shows a single combined value field for SRV instead of separate boxes, enter it as “0 1 993 mail.example.com” (priority weight port target). Replace example.com with your own domain.
