Namecheap, Google, and Wordpress not playing nice together.

5 June 2026 at 13:45

Hey...i will try to explain this.

I will start out by saying i am very new at this, and i have done multiple searches for this answer already...cannot find it, so that is what brought me here.

I purchased a domain via namecheap. I got that working with wordpress. I was able to navigate to my website with said namecheap domain.

Then i realized as i was typing out the email address associated with that name of my company ,i thought it seemed too long long to write out in an email, so i set up a shortened, alias domain within google, so people could type out the shorter version when emailing me.

So i was testing the email, and realized nothing was going through to that alias email address.

So in namecheap, i changed the nameserver from custom DNS, back to BasicDNS. The email then started working.....

HOWEVER....the URL no longer worked for my website. I dont know why.

Can i not have a BasicDNS use a google alias, AND point that URL to my wordpress site?

Hope this makes sense.
