How to Edit the Hosts File on Windows 10

Here's how you can edit your hosts file without getting the “You don't have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission” error.
1. run (CMD) command prompt as administrator
2. edit the hosts file.
3. put the IP address
4. at least on space after IP address
6. then save it.

It's better to do that within your router, Will be introduced in future videos.
by doing that, every computer or cell phone in your local network can use the local domain name to view the local IP device without remember the IP address.
