Block unwanted web sites with HostName Commander
The ability of HostName Commander to point web site names to arbitrary IP addresses makes you able to stop users of your computer from viewing the unwanted web sites, by mapping their host names to the invalid IP addresses.
For example, if your child is working on a term paper about the US government, you don't want him or her to accidentally type into the web browser the address whitehouse.com and end up at an infamous adult web site, instead of the web site devoted to the home of the US President (which correct address is whitehouse.gov).
With HostName Commander, you can assign some invalid IP address (such as 127.0.0.1) to the host names whitehouse.com and www.whitehouse.com, and that will make the web browser to display the Web site not found or a similar error message, when trying to see the contents of the blocked web site.
Even better, you can determine the actual IP address of the whitehouse.gov server, and assign whitehouse.com and www.whitehouse.com to that address, too. This way, no matter which address your child has entered into the browser, both whitehouse.gov and whitehouse.com will take him or her to the US President's home web site:
