Would recommend you to use cloudflare and then you can configure and forward traffic much easier than on namecheap.
https://www.cloudflare.com/

sign up, and then the instructions for forwarding a domain are on their site.

1. Login to your domain list on Namecheap.
2. Click on your domain. (Manage button)
3. Nameservers: https://i.allym.me/u/1f08c6.png
4. Advanced DNS: https://i.allym.me/u/fc1326.png
5. Add new Record: https://i.allym.me/u/c5428c.pn - click URL redirect, enter your domain and voila!
6. Make sure your host is either @, www, or whatever subdomain you want.

That's far too overcomplicated for something that doesn't even require hosting.

That's your opinion, no problem.

Are you going to use a reverse proxy like NGINX, or are you looking to do using DNS?
