Contrary to a seemingly popular misconception, DNS does not stand for Domain Name Server or Domain Name Software. DNS is an abbreviation for the aforementioned system that catalogs every domain and IP address on the internet, including registration information, as well as their relation to other domains and web hosts. The DNS is the central database of the internet, and without it, the internet would cease to exist as we know it.
A Hosts File on your computer acts like your own special phone book. Just like a DNS server, it lists a web address and its corresponding IP address. But there are some important differences: If a web address is listed in the Hosts file on your computer, your browser uses that entry instead of querying a DNS server. There is no check on whether the IP address listed in the Hosts file is correct. It can be a local address (127.0.0.1), which effectively blocks access to the site, or it can be the address of an old or malicious web server, which prevents you from accessing the actual web site.
