WinHosts

WinHosts is a super simple program that helps you edit the Windows Hosts file. This file has all the info related to your IP settings, so it’s pretty handy!

Easy to Use for Everyone

The best part? It’s got just a few options that anyone can handle, even if you're not a tech whiz! Setting it up doesn’t take much time at all. Just keep in mind that WinHosts has some ads, which means it might try to get you to install a third-party component during setup. But no worries! You can easily uncheck that option if you want a clean install.

Portable Option Available

If you prefer, you can skip the installer and run the app directly from a USB drive using its portable version, Portable WinHosts. This way, you won’t accidentally install any extra stuff!

User-Friendly Interface

The interface is quite small and straightforward. You can add as many new entries as you like by simply typing in the IP address and host name. Need to change an IP? Just hit F2 on your keyboard! You can also remove entries or reset everything back to factory settings.

Performance and Limitations

One thing you'll notice is that WinHosts doesn’t slow down your computer at all—it uses very little CPU and RAM. No annoying error messages pop up either; it runs smoothly without crashing.

A Few Drawbacks

However, the interface looks a bit basic, making WinHosts seem like it needs more polish. Plus, you can't edit existing Hosts entries; only the new ones you've added can be changed. Also, it's worth mentioning that this tool hasn’t been updated in quite some time.

If you're curious about how it works, give it a try yourself!
