Try adding to /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 www.mysite.com
Save it and restart networking, or reboot the computer.

Hi.
Tnx for the answer but I can still see the other pages of the site..... :(

Are you sure your browser has not cached some pages of the site? Try purging the cache, then see if you can find the page.

Install moblock and block whatever web site you want. It uses a GUI instead.
You can find the PPA to install it about 1/2 the way down the checklist:

also check /etc/nsswitch.conf and make sure that "files" is before the "dns" server address!
you have also the ption to blacklist the address from your router's config page (if it belongs to you!).
---------------------
If this website is accessing a service to your computer. like ftp, (since you did not specify if you are blocking the site as a "server" or as a "client") add an entry to /etc/hosts.deny (if you are usin inetd super server)
or if you are using xinetd super server edit the file: /etc/xinetd.conf

I don't know if you have access to the network router but you could do it at that level as well.
