    You will basically need to push the DNS Server to Namecheap DNS Servers in order for the URL Forwarding option to appear.

    In order to use the Namecheap 'URL Forwarding' function, you will need to use Namecheap DNS Servers. Yes, your site may appear down for a brief moment when it switches from your DNS Servers to their DNS Servers.

    Okay this is what you do. Log into your account in Namecheap and click on the Domain Name in question then on the left panel, click on 'Transfer DNS Back to Us'. Once you confirm that, you will see a new set of controls on the left panel under 'Host Management'. The one in question is 'URL Forwarding'. Click on that and enter the URL you want to forward to and that is all you need to do.
