Problem

Where can I find the hosts file in Windows?
I want to add “me-only” domainnames since I am currently developing new web site.

Solution

The hosts file can be found at

C:\Windows\system32\drivers/etc\hosts

Fortunately, the syntax is the same as that of your familiar Linux hosts.
So you can add new entry like,

12.34.56.78     www.example.com
