Hosts file Redirect website to about:blank - windows

I was just curious, how do I redirect a webaddress to a blank page using the windows Hosts file? All I know now is this 127.0.0.1 googleads.g.doubleclick.net. So how do I redirect the address to a Blank page?
thanks

You can't.
The HOSTS file assists in name resolution—converting a hostname to an IP address.
about:blank is a special URI that has nothing to do with name resolution.
You could run a webserver that sends 301 redirects to about:blank (or just sends blank pages), then add that server's IP address to the HOSTS file.

Set up URL redirect for a localhost site

I've developed a small site for an academic project, and I'd like to have it being shown as a live site, with its own domain name.
For example: I want to enter the domain name JustAnExample.com, but it should access the localhost.
I've tried to change the Hosts file, but it didn't work.
Changing the Hosts file should work!
adding > 127.0.0.1 justanexample.com <
will redirect it to localhost.
this may help! Editing local host file

Need help in pointing application in the default website to have a domain name

How to add an IP address to the virtual directory in IIS, for example i have pointed the domain name to the default website and it is pointing correctly, the issue i would to have a domain for the defaulvirtualdirectory/application(ex:www.xyz.com/abc) to have a domain name http://abc.def.com.
I tried all the possibilities like HTTP redirect but the problem is it is pointing to the default website instead of application.
If you want to have website URL like http://abc.def.com to load web-contents of sub-directory e.g WWWROOT/application, you should add another subdomain website http://abc.def.com with documentroot as WWWROOT/application. The primary website(http://def.com) will load web-contents of WWWROOT and subdomain website(http://abc.def.com) will load webcontents of WWWROOT/application directory. You can also point subdomain website to different IP address if you want.

codeigniter accessing through IP address in subfolder

I have a backoffice module in codeigniter. ive uploaded it to a.setver.into backoffice/ folder. the server can be accessed only by IP address like http:// IP ADDRESS /~user/backoffice/ but its not working.
ive uploaded it onto another server which can be accesses like www.domainname.com/backoffice/ and it works fine there.
i have to make it work on the first server without editing the hosts file.
i guess there must be a problem with segments order in the urls.
I opened the error log which sais file not found usr/local/apache/htdocs/home .
the home is the default controller.
the config bse url is set fine.

How to use mod_rewrite to map to a different domain and preserve the original

For example:
www.example.com and subdomain.mydomain.com are on the same server.
When I put example.com in the address bar, I want it to serve the pages from subdomain.mydomain.com, but still show as example.com in the browser. So, if the old URL was:
subdomain.mydomain.com/this/stuff?is_cool=yes
the new url would be
www.example.com/this/stuff?is_cool=yes
You've got a couple options.
Write a proxy on example.com that fetches the content from subdomain.mydomain.com and displays it to the user.
As both sites are on the same server, point example.com's document root to the same spot as subdomain.mydomain.com.
Use a frameset on example.com with a 100% height frame of subdomain.mydomain.com.
