Yeah, I don't think that you can edit the host file without root because it's a system file. Maybe it's possible through adb or terminal emulator or another means; @scary alien, any thoughts on that?

You may have to resort to a 3rd party app, or check your web browser settings and see if there is an option to block a website.

Spot-on there @Brian706--as far as I know, you'd need root access or an otherwise insecure hosts file to add/update an entry in there.
