#Amalgamated hosts file
|
||||
|
||||
This repo consolidates several reputable `hosts` files and consolidates them into a single hosts file that you can use.
|
||||
|
||||
**Currently this hosts file contains 22210 unique entries.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Source of host data amalgamated here
|
||||
|
||||
Currently the `hosts` files from the following locations are amalgamated:
|
||||
|
||||
* MVPs.org Hosts file at [http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm](http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm), updated monthly, or thereabouts.
|
||||
* Dan Pollock at [http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/](http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/) updated regularly.
|
||||
* My own small list in raw form [here](https://raw.github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).

## What is a hosts file?
|
||||
|
||||
A hosts file, named `hosts` (with no file extension), is a plain-text file used by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
In most operating systems, the `hosts` file is preferential to `DNS`. Therefore if a host name is resolved by the `hosts` file, the request never leaves your computer.
