The documentation shows (man hosts):

127.0.0.1 providence.rlfpllc.com localhost providence
And that's what you should use. I use the pattern: 127.0.0.1 host.domain.tld localhost host more_aliases 127.0.0.2 www.host.domain.tld www ### for use with apache e.g. 127.0.0.3 docs.host.domain.tld docs ### for use with apache e.g. [..] 127.0.1.1 ad.doubleclick.com ad.doubleclick.net ad.uk.doubleclick.net 127.0.1.1 ad-emea.doubleclick.net 127.0.1.2 www.google-analytics.com ssl.google-analytics.com google-analytics.com [..] If 'hostname' and 'hostname -f' return the correct values, you're good.
