I’ve followed a guide that’s instructed me to change the hosts file in sys32\drivers\etc in order to add a URL. This URL could’ve been 127.0.0.1 google.com – but it would then point to what instead of the google.com search engine on the internet? This was part of a sharepoint development training guide so I’m not sure if it’s sharepoint specific.
no it is not. If you write that in your hosts file, then when this url (google.com) will point to your own machine (127.0.0.1 = localhost).
