How to Edit Hosts !le in Mac OS X 10.10

Yosemite
Oct 19, 2014 by iHash 5 Comments
The hosts !le is used by your computer to map

hostnames to IP addresses.
By adding or removing lines to your hosts 6le you can change where certain domains will
point when you access them in a browser or using other software. You can block certain
hosts names, like ad-serving/malicious hosts, or used for web development purposes, i.e. to
redirect domains to local addresses.
This is an important 8le and one that is under the computer administrators control, so youll need an
account with full privileges to make any changes.

Making a backup of the hosts 6le can be a good idea if you plan on making signi6cant
changes or just want to play around with modi6cations and see what happens.
Step 1: Launch Terminal, found in /Applications/Utilities/ or launched through Spotlight

Step 2: Type the following command at the prompt to backup hosts 8le to documents folder:
sudo cp /private/etc/hosts ~/Documents/hosts-backup
Step 3: Type the following command at the prompt to open hosts 8le:

sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
Step 4: Enter the administrator password when requested, you will not see it typed on screen as usual with
the command line
Step 5: Once the hosts 8le is loaded within nano, use the arrow keys to navigate to the bottom of the hosts
8le to make your modi8cations
Step 6: When 8nished, hit Control+O followed by ENTER/RETURN to save changes to /private/etc/hosts,
then hit Control+X to exit out of nano
Step 7: Verify your hosts modi8cations. You may need to clear DNS cache 8rst.
If you want to restore the modi6ed hosts to the backup of the original 6le use this command:
sudo cp ~/Documents/hosts-backup /private/etc/hosts
