[QUOTE="Chrissy!, post: 1499329, member: 295839"] I am going to be building a new website (on a new host) for a site that already exists. When the new site is finished, I will point the domain. In the meantime, I do not have a domain. I was told to go into the terminal to do something with the host file, so I could work on the site without the domain. Below is the instruction I was given. Does it look right to you? To begin, open a new 'Terminal' window type: su - (without the : mark) enter your admin or root password type: cd /private/etc/ type: vim hosts use your arrow and page up/down keys to get to the end of the file hit your 'i' key (just the letter, not the ' marks) 67.225.246.179 atlanticparasail.com [url=http://www.atlanticparasail.com] hit escape type: :wq (make sure to include the : mark, as this writes and quits the editor) then, bring up your atlanticparasail.com site in a new browser window Thank you.:)[/url] [/QUOTE]
