title: configuring namecheap domains with heroku
body: <p>I have a app on heroku(paid dyno):</p>
  
  <p><strong><a href="https://example.herokuapp.com/" rel="noreferrer">https://example.herokuapp.com/</a></strong></p>
  
  <p>I have purchased a domain:</p>
  
  <p><strong>www.example.com</strong></p>
  
  <p>After reading multiple guides I can't figure out how to do the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>point domain to my heroku app(with SSL)</li>
  <li>configure a subdomain like <strong>api.example.com</strong></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>The overall goal is to have a domain like <strong>api.example.com</strong></p>
  
  <p>Thanks. <em>NOTE: Please do not simply link to documents from heroku and namecheap. I have read them all, and they are out of date/unspecific.</em></p>
