Your Mac only has one Hosts file. What you need to do is go back into the hosts file and either comment out the line you put in to develop locally (by putting a # at the very beginning of the line). Or, you can delete the line entirely and save the file again. You'll probably also want to flush your dns, using the following command on the command line: "dscacheutil -flushcache" Hope that helps.

The hosting company says that I am to see if there is another host file I have no deleted but there is not. Please advise.
