# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#

#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

Don't worry about that, all you have to is add the website just bellow of "127.0.0.1  localhost" and that site will no longer accessible.

Example:-

127.0.0.1      localhost

127.0.0.1      The website address (www.*****.com)

Then save it (File menu save or Ctrl+s)

So now put the address you have given in your browser it will show "unable to connect".

You can add more websites like that.

You may also interested to know what is the concept, how it block the websites. Actually while you enter 127.0.0.1 (is the Loopback Address) then at-least one space and the website name. It simply redirect the website to the IP 127.0.0.1 which is a loopback address of your PC, so there is nothing to show and finally the browser can't display the page or site.
