# Name cheap

We don't recommend using this provider.

The Namecheap API is very crappy and requires that we update EVERY dns record to just modify a single record.

It is also currently limited to domains that have no more than 10 A records. This could be fixed by changing the request from a HTTP GET to a POST but unfortunately Namecheap hasn't documented the POST method.

If you are using docker-compose or creating your own container then you need to set the following environment variable when you are creating the container.

AUTH\_PROVIDER=namecheap

AUTH\_PROVIDER\_TOKEN=name cheap Api Key

AUTH\_PROVIDER\_USERNAME=name cheap username

DOMAIN\_WILDCARD=true|false
