How often do you update your hosts file?

How often do you update your hosts file

 

or whenever I find a site I want to add myself.....

Also about once a month I will clean it out so if sites were removed, I can be up to date on that also...

 

what is meant by host files?

I do it about the same way that Puff does. I just try to keep the list as up to date as possible.

You beat me to it http://accs-net.com/hosts/ .... Oh well....

 

Just another note.... I use Ray Marron's Hostess to mange my hosts file. It is a great little program!

 

I update it fairly regularly ... as I combine entries from a few different sources, plus I add in a few of my own.

Another simple host management proggy is OK Host file Reader ... I don't have a link handy ATM ... It use to be available from Shaw@Home / DL's section ... although I usually just edit the file using notepad.

LOL - I have a whole folder of backups on the HD & a CDR ... as I tend to be a packrat when it comes to host files ...
