The text file used on a local machine for hostname-to-IP address resolution is called the "hosts" file. It typically resides in the directory /etc/ on Unix-based systems (like Linux and macOS) and in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ on Windows systems. This file allows users to manually map hostnames to IP addresses, bypassing DNS queries for local resolution.
