Connecting a domain name to Weebly

To start, you need to obtain an IP Address from Weebly to point your domain name to. This information can be obtained from your Weebly account settings.

In order to get the IP Address you need, follow these steps:

  1. Click Customize next to Site Address.
  2. Select the Connect a domain you already own option.
  3. Click Continue.

Under Option B: Make DNS Changes yourself, you will see a table of information A Record, Host and Points to. This is the key information needed to point your domain name to your Weebly website. From here, you can submit a ticket to our technical support team asking them to complete the setup OR continue following this guide to complete the setup yourself.
