Instructions

Add a few intries in your local computer hosts file.  This file is used by the operating system to get to know which IP address to use for given names. The hosts file is common for most modern operating systems; Windows, Mac OS, Linux, etc.
Hosts file format

The number 127.0.0.1 is the IP address of your local computer. An entry looks like this
127.0.0.1 adadvisor.net

Get hosts entries

A few sites provide a list of hosts file, you can make
