Hi @Gurvak_Singh! Thank you for your reply! I am happy to hear you have gotten DevKinsta back into a running state. But, I am sorry to hear you are continuing to experience the issue where you are not prompted to update the hosts file when creating a site. I have looked into this further and I have found a thread where another user had a similar issue. It turned out to be related to AdBlocking software installed on the system. A link to their post can be found here: [Host file update failed DK0022 (authorization never requested) [Mac] - #4 by phil-s](https://community.kinsta.com/t/host-file-update-failed-dk0022-authorization-never-requested-mac/1352/4) To clarify, do you have any AdBlock software installed that may have modified the hosts ffile? If so, could you please try making a backup of the hosts file, and then resetting the hosts file to a default state? Please let us know if this helps! We look forward to hearing from you! --- _[View the full topic](https://community.kinsta.com/t/whenever-i-am-trying-to-add-a-site-in-devkinsta-i-am-getting-this-error-something-bad-happened-this-is-happening-on-both-my-macbook-and-my-windows-laptop/6076)._
