# Guide on adding new custom hostnames to point to wherever you'd like
Really should have been a clear guide on how to do this.
Based on:
* https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-show-hostnames-instead-of-ip-addresses-in-the-dashboard/3530
* https://www.reddit.com/r/pihole/comments/8spvq1/resolve_local_hostnames_and_use_pihole_for/
### To add a new hostname record run this command:
* `pihole -a hostrecord home.mydomain.de {Router's-WAN-IP}`
*e.g. `pihole -a hostrecord home.mydomain.de 192.168.1.15`
### To make sure .local machine works:
* `vi /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf`
Add:
`server=/domain.lan/10.10.10.10` where the end number is the ip of your router e.g. 192.168.1.1
### Don't forget to restart after making any dns changes:
* `systemctl restart pihole-FTL.service`
* `reboot` this is a linux restart command that should not be needed
Test
* `ping home.mydomain.de` will only work if ip 192.168.1.15 is a machine that accepts pings
