To let know you I know very little about batch files
But I know a batch file will help in this situation
This is what I want to do

I want to be able to add
192.10.11.48 www.website.com
To the end of the hosts file in system 32

I want to do this to a couple of computers and I can’t replace the hosts
file so I need to add “192.10.11.48 www.website.com” to the end of the page

What are the codes I need to add to a patch file to do this?

Only if you actually want the quotes in the hosts file, and I don't
think you do.
