What this program does: Resolves and adds a host to /etc/hosts. Good for speeding up DNS for frequently used hosts, or for adding custom hosts with the same IP as a current one.

For example, say you have a computer at a remote address. Rather than remmbering its IP, there's services like no-ip to make an easy to remember name. However, a lot of the "easy-to-remember" names are already used. Like work.no-ip.org. So you can get a less-easy-to-remember no-ip, like work1234.no-ip.org, and set autohost to resolve work1234.no-ip.org to work.
