Access website using hosts due to expired domain [closed]

I seem to have fixed the problem by disabling secure DNS on Chrome

Settings >>> Privacy and Security >>> Security >>> Use Secure DNS

This is apparently not allowing the edits done on the hosts file which means chrome does not know how to resolve the domain
