## Host Files
|
|||
|
|
Host is an operating system file which maps hostnames to IP addresses.
|
|||
|
|
Using python file handling manipulation I have changed hostnames on the hosts files for a certain interval of day when I'm working and need no distraction and deleted it then after when the time is over.

## Location of host file

|

### Host file on Mac and Linux :
|
|||
|
|
$ /etc/hosts

### Host file on windows :
