    It is very simple. After you log into your Namecheap account, go to 'All Host Records' (this option is only available if you are using Namecheap DNS Servers). Then Sub domain settings, enter the subdomain, the Redirect Address and the dropdown menu under Record Type, change it to CNAME (Alias) and you are set.

    For example,

    subdomain website.com CNAME(Alias)

    Make sure that the Redirect URL has an IP address.
