- Use Notepad to open the following Windows file: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
- Add the following line to your hosts file:
<IP Address> domain.tld
<IP Address> www.domain.tld
Where domain.tld is your domain name and <IP Address> Is the IP address you've been asked to point it at. - Save the hosts file in Notepad.
- Open a Command Prompt as Administrator and run the following: ipconfig /flushdns
NOTE: Please do not remove anything from the hosts file that is already there. You can remove the hosts file redirect simply by following the above steps and remove the records added in step 3.
