Editing Your "Hosts" File

To access your hosts file, please follow the following steps:

1. Open "My Computer"
2. Open your "C" drive
3. Open the "Windows" folder
4. Open the "System32" folder
5. Open the "Drivers" folder
6. Open the "etc" folder
7. If the "etc" folder appears empty, look at the lower right of the window and change from "txt files" to "All files"
8. Double click on the file named "hosts"
9. It may ask you to choose what program to open it in--please select Notepad

To edit the Hosts file:

1. You will likely see several lines that begin with "#"
2. Following that should be a line that says "127.0.0.1       localhost"
3. Place your cursor at the end of that line and hit "enter"
4. Type in your IP address for your website and email server: 208.112.91.199
5. Hit the tab button at the end of the numbers and then type: www.domainname.com (use your domain name instead of "domainname")
6. Hit the tab again, and re-type your website without the www at the beginning.
7. If your email is hosted with us, then press tab one more time and type: mail.domainname.com (again using your real domain name).
8. Go to File > Save, and then close the window.
9. That's it!  You are finished!
