Trouble transferring your domain name from namecheap.com? Sadly, Tommy Dillard's helpful video is now out-dated and I was STUCK! Below is part of a conversation I recently had in a chat with live help @ namecheap. She was VERY helpful! It was a success!
Her: As I understand you are transferring your domain name from Namecheap
Me: yes...to wealthyaffiliate
Her: Do you need to point your domain name to Wealthy Affiliate nameservers?
Me: not sure...hoping you can direct me...the video they provide is out-dated...you all must've changed your format and page appearance in the last 6 months...
Her: Please specify if you need to change the domain name registrar or connect your domain name with your hosting
Her: Could you please provide me with the link to the video?

Her: Follow the steps below to point your domain to custom nameservers:
Her: - sign in to Namecheap.com with your username and password (Sign In option is available in the top hat of the page);
Her: - select 'Domain List' from the left-side menu;
Her: - hover over the house icon next to the domain you want to change settings for and click 'Manage';
Her: - locate 'Nameservers' section;
Her: - choose 'Custom' in the drop-down menu;
Her: - fill in your custom nameservers (ns1.mywahosting.com and ns2.mywahosting.com)
Her: - click on the checkmark on the right to save the changes
Her: It may take 24-48 hours for the DNS changes to be accepted globally. Please give it some time to propagate.
