It's a jungle out there )
I see a setting for DNS server settings: [Select DNS Source: 'Our DNS'
(recommended) or 'Custom DNS'] .. Trouble is I barely look at these
settings for 10 minutes every 2 years. .. I don't want to send my high
traffic website into the depths of the internet black hole by messing with
this setting .. unless it is simple.. (high traffic .. lol )

Ahh, I've now had a look at weebly.com. That place seems to be one of
those "pseudo-hosts" as I like to call them. If I were you, and if you
want to actually publish a real web site, I'd run away.

No. NameServers.

Check this out:
<http://whois.domaintools.com/weebly.com>

"Weebly.com is for sale
The owner of the domain you are researching has it listed for sale."

Run away faster!

But, scroll down the page near the bottom, and see "Name Servers". You
would need to know yours, supplied by your host.

Thanks .. back to the drawing board I guess .. I should have known it was
looking to convenient. Trouble is hosting is such a cut throat business ..
Which hosting companies are 1 -cheap and 2- not regularly for sale ..
My flaky domain provider has been sold at least twice in 9 years .. with a
different domain name each time .. it's a problem when I only look for them
every two years.
cheers

GoDaddy isn't much. If your domain isn't worth $15 you should reconsider.

There are plenty of nightmare stories about having someone other than
yourself control the DNS. Wherever you host make sure you can change the
DNS at any time and for any reason. This is not necessarily the case
where a host handles the DNS.

Just had a client whose site went down when the DNS server went schitzy.

I have used TuckTail.com for domain registry for many years and love them. Excellent service and great prices, with many advanced options, but easy to use.
