How to Redirect any Website to Another Website

Example :- Redirecting Facebook to clicknsnap.org

Open a command prompt (click on Start and type in CMD) and type in the following command:
In my example, I pinged clicknsnap.com.

ping clicknsnap.org

The IP address is 103.235.104.45.

Now I can simply plug that number into my hosts file in front of www.facebook.com as explained below.
