To do this, type the IP address you wish to assign, followed by two tabs and the hostname.In our example, we’ll pretend that the computer we’re using is a device that we want to use exclusively for work, not allowing ourselves to get distracted by Facebook on our work machine. In addition to testing newly developed websites and web hosting migrations, another reason to edit the hosts file is to block access to specific websites. To edit the file, you’ll add your own lines after broadcasthost. It also contains default IP values for localhost and broadcasthost. For each line, any text after the pound sign is ignored by the computer, making it a good way to add notes and descriptions to your files.
Any line that starts with a # sign is a comment and is not read by the /etc/hosts file.
