Manually:
:set filetype=hostconf
or similar.
Vim can also examine file content to determine the filetype. This should happen automatically for some files. In fact, by default if '#' is a comment in the first few lines in the file, you'll get a "conf" filetype.
So, do you turn on automatic filetype detection in your .vimrc?
If so, and it's still not working, then create a scripts.vim file in your user directory containing commands to inspect file contents to set the filetype, as detailed at :help new-filetype-scripts
