Be sure to change the 'yourdomain.com' part to whatever your domain name is. This will force your system to temporarily resolve the domain to our servers without checking DNS. This is useful when trying to view a website before DNS change be moved over to our name servers

Note: If you are unable to use HostEdit, you may edit your HOSTS file with Notepad or Textpad, the file is located at c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
