I just reinstalled my VPS and so I have to re-add all the domains. The last time I added a domain to my VPS was about a year ago and I have to admit I forgot how it's done.
My domains are all on namecheap. My VPS has Plesk 12.5 installed on it.
I turned DNS services on and added one of my domains in the Plesk backend, however I have no idea what nameservers I have to put in on namecheap now?

Could anyone give me a hand?
Thank you!

Login into your namecheap, and setup your NS with your VPS IP.
Or, if you need extra protection, you can register Cloudflare. You can manage your DNS at cloudflare instead directly into Namecheap. Where, people can actually see your real public IP address, and its a like show your ass to public.

Thanks for your answer, but I still didn't manage to get it running.
It's not possible to put in an IP address as custom DNS in namecheap (they only accept FQDN)

I then signed up for Cloudflare and added Cloudflare nameserver in namecheap.
In Cloudflare, I did an A record pointing to the IP of my VPS and a CNAME record for www.

My website is still not reachable, what did I do wrong?

Resolve their own domain name to the server IP (VPS or independent host IP), in the domain name management to add a A record to the server IP, according to different regions, generally 1 hours to 1 days will be effective.
.
Two
The remote connection to the server is generally open Internet information services (IIS) manager to open Internet information service tools, concrete steps: start - all programs - management tool - Internet - click open information service.
.
Three
In the site directory to find the need to bind the domain name of the site, right click properties.
.
Four
Click the advanced button, and then click on the Add button, as shown below, IP can not fill, fill port 80, the first host to fill your domain name, such as the test of my domain name and then confirm.

have you make sure, port 80 working?
Just check the firewall, I assume your port 80 still blocked.
and if you have HTTPS, also activate 443
 
Allright guys, it just took the nameservers unusually long to update (a little more than 24 hours)
It's always been like 1-4 hours for me before.
Sorry for wasting your time >.>
