Wanting to add certain IP addresses to the Windows “hosts” file or editing the existing ones is always a meticulous task, regardless of the desired outcome. Users need to open the said file into a text editor such as the default Windows “Notepad”, tamper the text strings and save the file to get the job done. How about a program that can provide all that, from a single interface and a few clicks? This is what HostsEditor will basically do for you.
Ever found yourself in a situation which demanded the editing of the “hosts” file in your installation of Windows? For novices out there, the first steps are to look for the location of that file, which in itself can be real “navigational” challenge.
This minimalist app eliminates the need to search for that file and will automatically open the containing folder if required. Using it not only makes for a more efficient workflow, but it also provides a more structured editing space for the contents of the “hosts” file.
New IP addresses and corresponding URLs can be added with ease, since the app offers only two main text entry columns, one for each. Messing things is being kept to a minimum this way and, provided that users have entered the correct data, saving it to the “hosts” file is just a matter of clicking the “Save” button.
Changes in the “hosts” file can be verified by opening the file with a text editor, and this kind of defeats the purpose of the app, but, nevertheless, it does not “put a bad chip on its shoulder” in terms of actual functionality.
