Please provide more information on what exactly you did. If you removed the entries you added to/etc/hostsfile then you should be able to access that site without issues. What is the error you are getting when trying to access it?

Changes in/etc/hostsare immediate, unless you have nscd or something similar running. You don't need to do the/etc/init.d/thing.
