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.

People that have on-line stores they think they should be making millions of dollars without ever spending a dime on advertising or SEO.
Filed Of Dreams Syndrome - Anyone that is mad because no one shops at their crappy little store. Then they blame the web host who has nothing to do with it.

While standing in a line at the gas station, a minority woman standing in front of you will 'look at you' and then nonchalantly say to the minority woman behind the counter, file. At the counter as you are paying, the woman hears her self saying a disparaging comment to herself and says he a file.
