* My own small list in raw form [here](https://raw.github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/data/StevenBlack/hosts).
You can add additional sources by placing them in the `data/` directory. Provide a copy of that new
`hosts` file, and place its update url in `update.info`. The `updateHostsFile.py` routine will
automatically refresh the `hosts` file from source each time a new amalgamated file is generated.
## Generate your own amalgamated hosts file
The `updateHostsFile.py` script, which is python 2.7 and Python 3-compatible, will generate an amalgamated hosts file
based on the sources in the local `data/` subfolder. The script will prompt ask you if it should fetch updated versions
over the web (defined by the update.info text file in each source's folder), or it will use the `hosts` file that's
already there.
**Usage**
python updateHostsFile.py [--auto]
Command line options:
`--auto`, `-a`: run the script without prompting. When `--auto` is invoked,
* Host data sources are updated.
* Your active hosts file is *not* replaced.
## How do I control which sources are amalgamated?
You can add additional sources by placing each in a subfolder of the `data/` folder. Provide a copy of that new
`hosts` file, and place its update url in `update.info`.
## How do I incorporate my own hosts?
If you have custom host records, place them in file `myhosts`. The contents of this file are prepended to the
amalgamated hosts file during the update process.
## Using updateHostsFile.py
This Python script will generate a unique hosts file based on the sources in the `data/` folder.
You can either have the script go out and fetch an updated version over the web (defined by the
update.info text file in the source's directory), or it will use the `hosts` file that's already
there.
Usage
python updateHostsFile.py
**TAKE NOTE** this script is tested with Python version 2.7.10.

## Why use `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`?
## We recommend using `0.0.0.0` instead of `127.0.0.1`
Using `0.0.0.0` is faster because you don't have to wait for a timeout. It also does not interfere
with a web server that may be running on the local PC.
