Also another viable solution although slightly more complicated than adding a line to a file. A question I have is whether you're talking about running your own DNS on your machine or on a server you control?
One benefit to the hosts file is that it travels with you everywhere you go. I have my DNS configured at home, but my hosts file for when I'm at a coffee shop, on a plane, work trip, or vacation.
