DNS is a system that allows computers to find each other on the internet. DNS servers are used to translate domain names, such as www.Weebly.
com, into IP addresses. On Weebly, DNS is configured in the Settings > General > DNS section.

To add a DNS server, open the Windows Control Panel, and then click on Network and Internet. In the Network and Sharing Center, click on the Properties button for your network connection.
In the Properties dialog box for your network connection, click on the DNS tab. In the DNS Server field, type the IP address of the DNS server. In the Preferred DNS Server field, type the IP address of the DNS server that Weebly should use if the DNS server is not available. Click on the Add button.
