In day to day routine sometimes it becomes necessary to block particular website(s) in our PCs. There is a process to make it happen -

Steps:
  1. First of all open the directory "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc"
  2. Open hosts file using notepad
  3. Type IP Address 127.0.0.1 "WebsiteName" separated by one Space or Tab
  4. If more than one website to be blocked use the IP incremented by one in next line i.e. 127.0.0.2  "WebsiteName2"                                                                                                127.0.0.3  "WebsiteName3" and so on in distinct line.
  5. Save the Hosts File & Close it.
  6. Now the Website is blocked.
