title: Mimic FQDN on a home machine not on a domain
body: <p>I have a home PC running Windows 10, no domain controller, and therefore by default I do not have a FQDN for the machine.  </p>
  
  <p>I am trying to setup some server software for testing purposes, and it requires that I use a FQDN.</p>
  
  <p><strong>How can I manipulate my hosts file to mimic a FQDN?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Extra info, please let me know in comments if you need more.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>There will be no other machines trying to access this other than the machine I am running the software on (my home PC)</p></li>
  <li><p>I also think that my IP address is not static.</p></li>
  </ul>
