Make sure your domain is using Namecheap BasicDNS or Namecheap PremiumDNS as the nameserver. If you’re using custom nameservers, you need to manage DNS at that provider instead.
Host field includes the full domain
Host field includes the full domain
Namecheap automatically appends your domain to the host field. Enter only the subdomain part — e.g.,
send not send.yourdomain.com.DKIM value appears cut off
DKIM value appears cut off
Namecheap may truncate the display of long TXT values, but the full value is stored. Paste the complete value from SendKit and save — it will work correctly.
