The computer file hosts is an operating system file that maps hostnames to IP addresses. It is a plain text file. Originally a file named HOSTS.TXT was manually maintained and made available via file sharing by Stanford Research Institute for the ARPANET membership, containing the hostnames and address of hosts as contributed for inclusion by member organizations. The Domain Name System, first described in 1983 and implemented in 1984,1 automated the publication process and provided instantaneous and dynamic hostname resolution in the rapidly growing network. In modern operating systems, the hosts file remains an alternative name resolution mechanism, configurable often as part of facilities such as the Name Service Switch as either the primary method or as a fallback method.

Get the AW host mug.
Get the accesskey-vudung-host mug.
You have been blue hosted when you are told how awesome and amazing their web hosting is only to have your website turned off for days. Similar to blue balls in the sense that you get all turned on only to get shut down.

The rights a party host gets, including not being called a party pooper when they do something to calm it down. They have this right since they were the ones who started it in the first place.
You can’t say that because of my party host rights.
He was violating his party host rights by calling him a party pooper.
