so im bascially using namecheap domain & servers and squarespace. i have squarespace setup already using there DNS settings for my domain in namecheap. My only problem now is linking a subdomain to be used on the namecheap hosting servers. i currently have squarespace setting on advanced DNS. i.imgur.com/NNPZWQ6.jpg im assuming i might have to add more entries here and on cpanel dns settings to use a subdomain on namecheap hosting. any ideas?

  namecheap hosting says i have to add there nameservers but when i do that the link with squarespace breaks. squarespace uses dns with @ and cnames and namecheap hosting use nameservers. how do i use my domain with both?

  Namecheap is correct. You'll need to use their nameservers if squarespace won't allow you to add an A entry. However, you should be able to contact squarespace, if your dns is through them and have them point sub.domain.com as an A entry to the ip you want.
