I have a couple of Namecheap domains here are step by step instructions on how to transfer your Namecheap domain to be hosted by WA. Other domains should follow a similar process.

You need to have a premium account to be able to host a paid domain at WA, so make sure you upgrade your account if you haven't done so already.

• Login to your account on the site you purchase your domain (eg. Namecheap.com)
• On your homepage, you will see under account information, the says "Number of domains in your account", click the view link at the end of this line.

• On the right hand side under the title "Domains", you will see a list of the domains you own, click on the one you want to transfer to WA

• On the left-hand side, click on domain name server setup or
  

  ‘Transfer DNS to Webhost’

• On the right, select "Specify Custom DNS Servers ( Your own DNS Servers )"
• Enter "ns1.mywahosting.com" in line 1 and "ns2.mywahosting.com" in line 2
• Click save changes

Now you just need to setup your domain on your website here at WA

• Click on Build My Website
• If you have already created the site, click on move

• Click on "To A NEW Domain" and enter your new domain name
• Click on "I'm ready, move myexistingsite.siterubix.com"
• If you are creating a new site, just click on the "On a Domain I Own" option and enter your domain name

That's it, well done, you did it!
