I just wanted to share some hints on how to make an avil app work on a domain when you use the namecheap domain management tools. First, credits: Thanks to Anvil and Meredydd for help.
In short:
- Have a domain name (with ssl registered) at namecheap
- In their dashboard, click on the domain name and then select Advanced DNS
- Under host records add a type A record with the value Anvil tells you to add (52.56.203.177)
- If they exist, delete the existing redirects and www host records
- Add a type CNAME record with www and the value anvil.works
The end result should include the first and last record in this picture (the middle CNAME is specific to my domain and SSL):
