Another beginner question…
I want to set up dns correctly - can someone advise if this is correct please?
add the three ns.names to namecheap
Then what?
Do I add A record in namecheap or on digital ocean dns area? same with Cname - on namecheap or on here Digital ocean.
If someone could advise exactly what i need to add and where then that would be a big help.
My site will be using https lets encrypt and just a wordpress blog if that helps.
And what if I want to use cloudflare?
Thanks in advance.

My account hasn’t been confirmed yet, so I don’t know anything about the DO DNS ‘area’. If you have a static IP set for your site, you can use that in namecheap as your A or AAAA record. Use www.<yoursite>.com for the CNAME, along with the same IP you used for your A or AAAA record. Hope this helps!
