Hi,

If you had opened exemple.com in your web browser before you modified your /etc/hosts file, then it is very likely that your web browser cached exemple.com site’s content and respond with such cache content to each next request sent to exemple.com. What I can suggest is to clear browser’s cache and try again then.

Let us know if it helps.

    Some tips:

    1. Check if you have not misspelled hosts file name, and what rights are set up for /etc/hosts file. Run the command:

    sudo ls -la /etc/host*

    You will get the result like below. The hosts file is highlighted. Everyone should have right to read this file.

    Output
    -rw-r--r--. 1 root root   9 Jun  7  2013 /etc/host.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  22 Apr 10  2017 /etc/hostname
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 158 Mar 18 23:23 /etc/hosts
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 370 Jun  7  2013 /etc/hosts.allow
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 460 Jun  7  2013 /etc/hosts.deny

    2. To check quickly if changes in hosts file work, you can ping the host you entered in hosts file, e.g. in my case:

     ping lalalili.com

    I get the result like that:

    Output
    PING lalalili.com (10.10.10.10) 56(84) bytes of data.

    because my hosts file looks like that:

    /etc/hosts
    127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
10.10.10.10  lalalili.com www.lalalili.com

    Try to ping a host you entered into your hosts file and let us know how it works.

    BTW. Domain lalalili.com exists ;-)
