All the actions described here will help you access your site without waiting for the internet to update DNS.
Attention! The domain will only work on your computer.
To update the DNS domain on your computer, you must edit the hosts file:
The location of the hosts file may vary depending on your operating system, but by default it is:

WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows 95/98/ME: WINDOWS\hosts
Windows NT/2000: WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
The hosts file has no extension, it can be edited in any text editor (e.g. Notepad).
Open the hosts file and add the content lines with the server IP address, and domain:
ip your_domain
ip www.your_domain

95.216.23.235.hostia.net
95.216.23.235 www.hostia.net
