Sometimes you might want to force your local machine to point a domain to another IP address without editing its public DNS entries.
You can do this by editing a file that is local to your PC, the "hosts" file - this is checked before any DNS lookups are performed.
The format required for entries in to this file are like
[IP] domain.name
So to point your website to one of our shared hosting servers, you would add a line like this:
46.20.227.2 your-web-site.com
