Cannot change host

[joelworsham]

1. I created a new site with name "jacksoncollege".
2. The host was automatically set to vagrant.local. I thought this a bit odd. I would have rather it be jacksoncollege.local or jacksoncollege.dev.
3. I went to settings for the box, changed "Hosts:" to jacksoncollege.dev. I hit "Done" to save.
4. Hit "Open" but get "Site cannot be reached".
5. So I go back to settings, verify new host is still present, and hit "Refresh Details". Same problem.
6. I then totally shut down and restart the box. Same problem.

Follow up: I made 2 more testing sites, just curious to see if they all would get vagrant.local. They do. This can't be right :P

This should definitely be clearer in the UI.

For automatic host resolution to work, you have to use <name>.local. Any other TLD will require manually adding to your /etc/hosts. We should warn in the UI if you attempt to set this.

This is right; so long as they aren't running at the same time, there's no issue (I have about 10 boxes all using vagrant.local, but I only run one at a time, so it's not an issue). We should warn in the UI if you try to launch a box using the same hostname as an existing one.
