Transfer domain servers from Namecheap/Cloudflare to Netlify #197

Ideally, the domain is handled entirely through Netlify to take advantage of their redirect domain features and it's easier in terms of permissions.

Still need to do this somehow lol 😬 😂

@dvidsilva I dropped the ball on this earlier - when did you want to make the transition? Totally up to you

We will triage this in Slack instead

Would love to know what you figured out! If you could let me know what happened in the Slack discussion, much appreciated! I'm trying to use Netlify's DNS instead of Namecheap's DNS, but I can't get it to work. It appears that I'll have no choice but to use Namecheap's DNS and manually enter the records for my site and email, unless there's a better way. Thanks!!

@Calefornia You have to go into the domain settings and change the nameserves, is not in the DNS config.

Make sure all the DNS in netlify is configured correctly and so before you do the migration/change to minimize downtime.
