title: Windows hosts file and IIS binding question
body: <p>I'm building a few SharePoint sites, and I want to make use of zones so I may set security different in the various zones.
  My workstation has a local SharePoint, and I use it for development.
  My workstation has a static IP, and is connected to the internet.</p>
  
  <p>When I make a SharePoint site, I want to add a host header, for instance, devbox.com.
  I do not own this name, nor do I want to.
  I then add an entry in my hosts file, but when I surf to <a href="http://devbox.com:8080" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://devbox.com:8080</a>, it does not resolve.
  Do I need to register the name I want to use, or should this work, i.e., have my hosts file resolve names/IPs first?</p>
