This vid helps get started w/ Google host.

i. Google doesn't provide a specific hosts file for download.

Typically, the hosts file on your computer contains mappings for various domain names to IP addresses. You can edit the hosts file on your system to manually add or modify mappings. This is often done for purposes such as blocking access to certain websites, redirecting domains to local addresses for testing, or bypassing DNS resolution.

If you need a default hosts file for your operating system, you can often find it in the system directories. Here are the default locations for the hosts file on some common operating systems:

- **Windows**: `C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts`
- **Linux and macOS**: `/etc/hosts`

Keep in mind that modifying the hosts file requires administrative privileges on your computer. Additionally, be cautious when editing the hosts file, as incorrect entries can cause network connectivity issues.

If you're looking for specific mappings related to Google services, they typically use DNS for address resolution rather than relying on hosts file entries.
