Oof. Set this up years ago now..

Add the hostname IE public Add the domain name IE starkcommando.com

This will be public.starkcommando.com

Leave username blank (this was a gotchya for me, if I recall correctly)

Then put the generated namecheap ddns password (not your account password) that matches the record in.

All set.
