With the `namecheapdns` component you can automatically update your dynamic DNS entry at [namecheapdns](https://www.namecheap.com/store/domains/freedns/).
<p class='note warning'>
Namecheap only supports IPv4 addresses to update.
</p>
To use the component in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
namecheapdns:
domain: example.com
password: YOUR_PASSWORD
```
{% configuration %}
host:
description: The host part or "subdomain" part you want to update.
required: false
type: string
domain:
description: Your namecheap TLD (example.com).
required: true
type: string
password:
description: The namecheap "Dynamic DNS Password" you can find under the "Advanced DNS" tab.
required: true
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
