What is Easy Hosts File Editor?

Easy Hosts File Editor

Easy Hosts File Editor is a simple software tool that helps you edit your hosts file safely and create backups for easy access later. It's designed for everyone, whether you're just starting out or have some experience under your belt.

Two Modes for Everyone

This app has two different modes to choose from every time you launch it: 'Basic' and 'Advanced'. If you're new, you'll probably want to start with the Basic mode.

User-Friendly Basic Mode

In the 'Basic' mode, you'll see a neat table where you can enter domains or subdomains along with their local or remote IP addresses. This makes it super easy to keep track of what you're adding to the hosts file. Plus, you can save this table as an XML file on your computer and load it up later whenever you need it.

Creating Your Hosts File

Once you're done entering everything in 'Basic' mode, Easy Hosts File Editor lets you generate a new hosts file and save it right to your computer. To make sure your system reads it automatically, there's an option that helps move it to the right spot in Windows without any hassle.

Diving Deeper with Advanced Mode

If you're feeling more adventurous, go ahead and try out the 'Advanced' mode! Here, you can create a hosts file from scratch without any assistance. The app can also load your current hosts file so you can see what's already there.

Simplifying Modifications

Just like in 'Basic' mode, if you change anything in 'Advanced', the updated file can be saved directly in the program's folder. Replacing the original hosts file is just a click away!

A Cautionary Note

This dual approach makes Easy Hosts File Editor really user-friendly for mapping hostnames to their corresponding IP addresses. But remember—be careful with those changes! Modifying the hosts file affects how your network works and could cause some trouble reaching certain sites.
