Let me answer this for you and save your search ... it is easy.  Long time
ago, god create a HOST file.  That is what was used prior to DNS.

The format goes like this:

212.204.249.22	www.the-angels.com

There is a tab in between there.

On Win9X systems:
c:\windows\

On Win NT / 2k
c:\<path to win>\system32\drivers\etc

You may already have it ... If not, just create it and save it!
