You have a website or a blog; you host it some where on the internet. Some time you cannot browse your website from your computer, but some how the website is online and can be seen from some one else’s computer. The problem is that the DNS server at your Internet Service Provider did not resolve your domain name.

Here’s a quick solution, you let your computer remember the IP address of the website by doing following:

• Open file: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
• If you’re asked to choose the program to open this file, please select Notepad.
• To record you DNS entry in this file for the computer to remember: at the bottom line adds your website’s ip address follow by a tab then your domain name.
• Save this file. And whenever you type your website address you’ll get to you website quickly.

Here is an example of the hosts file:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.

#

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

#

# 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.

#

# For example:

#

# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server

# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
