What is difference between editing host file or creating fqdn for making sharepoint web application work?

Today I setup my first dev environment. But whenever i simply created a web application and site collection under it, browser would show connection Error. So I researched and found two ways of making it work

- First I added the entry of new web application (host header) into hosts file like 

127.0.0.1      xx.yy.com
::1                 xx.yy.com

- For other web application host header i created fqdn going to dns manager... both the ways gave access 

Now I am confused what is differece between these two process? Also do we have to edit host file or dns everytime we create a new web application in real time production environment?
