HOSTSed
by Dark Unicorn Productions

  Take control of your internet connection - doesn't matter if you're a pro or novice! Block Ad Banners In Your Browser: Use HOSTSed's Clipboard Monitor to quickly add advertising servers to your HOSTS file. Once added, ads from that server will never appear in your browser again! Block Ads in 'Adware' Software: Do you like using 'free software' like CoversXP that shoves ads in your face while you use it? Blocking the ad servers that push those ads will remove ads from ad-ware software! Redirect/Restrict Unwanted Websites: Wife won't stay off of eBay? Want to block a porn site from your kids? Use the HOSTS file to block access to websites you don't want your family accessing. Add the domain to your blocked list, and there will be no more shopping for the wife, no more adult material for little Bobby - YOU ARE IN CHARGE (even your kids won't know how to get it back). Take control of your internet experience by blocking out undesirable web sites. Set Up Domains for Testing: If you're a professional building websites or servers for clients, you often need to set up domains well in advance of the domain names actually working. Sometimes just using the IP is fine, but if you are programming web sites requiring cookies, your browser MUST show the future domain name of the website - NOT the IP address. Use the HOSTS file to set up a domain alias so you can hit the website with the domain, not the IP.
