How can I get my host file to not just use the internet for my domain and not the values in my host file?

Hello, The HOSTS file is a file on your computer that is used to basically specify where certain URLs will go. So, if you want www.example.com to go to a specific location on the internet, you would assign it to the IP address of that location. If you're computer's going to the wrong site, then you need to review your hosts file and see what it's doing. For more information on changing the HOSTS file on a Mac, please go here.
