What is Hosts file
- The hosts file is a simple list of hostnames and their corresponding IP addresses
- your computer looks at every time you try and contact a previously unknown host name
- If it finds an entry for the computer you’re trying to reach, it sets the IP address for that computer to be whatever in the hosts file.
Location of host file is same in every version of Microsoft XP, vista,7,8
In Window 8 : You have to open notepad with administrator
Now open the host file location in notepad
Now write the website name after 127.0.0.1 example www.facebook.com
Save this and Restart your system
For Unblock the website from your host then simply delete all the website which are listed after this 127.0.0.1 and save the file and restart your system.The Same procedure is repeated in window 7 and xp.
