1. Log in to your Cloudflare account and add your website. 2. Cloudflare will scan your existing DNS records. Review and edit as needed. 3. Cloudflare will provide you with two nameservers (e.g., 'ella.ns.cloudflare.com' and 'norman.ns.cloudflare.com'). 4. Log in to your Namecheap account. 5. Go to 'Domain List' and select 'Manage' next to your domain. 6. Navigate to the 'Nameservers' section. 7. Select 'Custom DNS' and enter the two Cloudflare nameservers provided. 8. Save the changes. Propagation can take up to 48 hours, but is usually much faster.
