when you type a domain name in your browser that you wish to connect to, your application must first convert it to an IP address that it will use to connect to.The way these hostnames are resolved to their mapped IP address is called Domain Name Resolution. On almost all operating systems whether they be Apple, Linux, Unix, Netware, or Windows the majority of resolutions from domain names to IP addresses are done through a procedure called DNS. DNS stands for Domain Name System and is the standard domain name resolution service used on the Internet , There is another way to resolve domain names without using the Domain Name System, and that is by using your HOSTS file. Almost every operating system that communicates via TCP/IP, the standard of communication on the Internet, has a file called the HOSTS file. This file allows you to create mappings between domain names and IP addresses Another way to think of a hosts file is as an address translator and redirector.

Hi Petra Glary , logical , thanks for your feedback
Works very good and is helpful at all.
One Remark: Some Firewallapplications block the saving-process. So its necessary to switch off e.g. ZoneAlarm or similar only for saving the modified HOST-File.
One wish to the developer: Adding a button do sort as alphabeth all entries. This is usefull if one has many entries and want to find a special one.
Thanks Khan
I have been using this tool since 9th April 2014, works great! Thanks!
The program has stopped updating IP over the Internet. Please look at the problem. Or is it just me?
(Что то программа перестала обновлять IP через интернет. Посмотрите пожалуйста в чём проблема? Или это только у меня?)
