Your machine's local hosts file enables you to overide DNS for a particular domain or subdomain name.
This is an extraordinary method to test the webpage ahead of changing genuine DNS: you're ready to test the site at Hamro.Cloud while the rest of the web keeps on utilizing DNS to point to the current site.
The best approach to alter this record and its area varies by working framework.
To adjust your hosts document, you can add two sections to the file that contains the IP address that you need the site to resolve and the IP address.
Including the following two lines, for instance, would point www.domain.com and domain.com to the IP 1.2.3.4:
Â
1.2.3.4 domain www.domain.com
For Windows:
1. Press Start and Search for 'Scratch pad'
2. In the query items, right-click Notepad and select Run as head.
3. Use File - > Open and explore to the accompanying record: c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
4. Roll out the changes (below)

For Mac OS 10.0 to 10.6:
1. Open Applications > Utilities > Terminal
2. Type sudo nano/and so forth/has
3. Enter the administrator password
4. Roll out the improvements (beneath)

Making the Changes
The hosts file takes contentions of the organization:
XX.XX.XX.XX domain.tld www.domain.tld
The IP address for the site is shown down the correct hand side of our control board, under the 'IP Address' going. They'll generally begin with '185.151.2x.xxx':
185.151.2x.xxx domain.tld www.domain.tld sub.domain.tld
After you include this line and spare the record, your framework starts making plans to the specified IP address.
Subsequent to testing is done please evacuate these entries so you begin utilizing "real DNS" once again.
Ensure that when rolling out this changes you have sections for both your domain and every single important subpart. For instance, on the off chance that you simply include an entry for "domain.tld", then "www.domain.tld" will point the original server.
