This can be solved in several ways:

• Always make sure you wrote the name correctly: there might be spaces before or after that you didn't see which can indeed hinder you from connecting
  
• Changing your DNS server: You can try Google public DNS, follow this walkthrough on how to change your DNS server to google public DNS
  
• If all else fails, you can use the numerical ip to access the server: for school, you can connect to "96.32.149.25" (excluding quotes), on build you can connect to "84.211.65.136:25569". Keep in mind that this is not recommended unless absolutely necessary because these ips might change.
