This is Part II in “How To Register A domain Name With Namecheap”
Also See Part I | Part III

The 1st thing you need to do after you have successfully registered for a Namecheap account is to add funds to your account.

This will make it easier when you decide to register a domain name as Namecheap requires you to add funds to your account 1st before you can proceed to register a domain name unlike other domain name providers which enables you to pay upon checkout.

Step 1- Login to your account (See Below)

Step 2 - Once logged in proceed to add funds to your account.

Step 3 - Choose your payment options. You can choose to pay via Paypal, Google Checkout or Credit/Debit card. I personally use Paypal. Next step is to proceed uploading an amount using whichever method you decide on.

I suggest you upload $10 for each domain you register. The minimum is $7.98. Any balance after domain registration will remain in your account and you can add to that amount for future domains. Of course you can add a bigger amount if you want. Think of it like a deposit.

Step 4 - Congrats! You have added funds to your Namecheap account (See Below)

That’s it! Now you have successfully added funds to your Namecheap account. Next is to register that domain name.
