HOSTS files on Microsoft Windows are used by computers to map hostnames to IP Addresses. This hosts file is actually a text type file, and is named HOSTS without having any type of extension. This file in Windows is in the "C: \ Windows \ System32 \ drivers \ etc" folder if you install Windows on Drive C.
In some cases it is necessary for us to edit this hosts file such as adding ip addesses or changing existing configurations. To edit this hosts file you can use notepad or a plain text editor. But it will require access rights as an Administrator to edit it.
1. Right Click the Notepad, and Run as Administrator
2. Browse the HOST file at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
3. Edit and Save the HOST file.
