## Introduction

By changing the hosts file, you can map a specific hostname to point to your own IP address, or let a hostname point to a specific IP address on your current computer.

## Mapping a Hostname to Localhost

For example, if you want `dev-mysite.com` to point to your local machine, add the following entry:

```
127.0.0.1           localhost
```

## Mapping a Hostname to Another IP Address

Another example: if you want the `google.com` hostname to point to IP address `xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx`:

```
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx     google.com
```

## Flushing DNS Cache

The following is a comment from Microsoft:

> This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each #
> entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be
> placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP
> address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # #
> Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines
> or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

After you change a hostname to point to a specific IP address, you might have to type `ipconfig /flushdns` at the command line.

## Conclusion

The Windows hosts file is a simple but powerful tool for mapping hostnames to IP addresses. It is useful for local development and testing. Remember to flush your DNS cache after making changes.


By changing the hosts file, you can map a specific hostname to point to your own IP address, or let a hostname point to a specific IP address on your current computer.

(optional), type the application path.
