Change localhost to Your Own Domain


If you ever thought to change localhost to yourdomain.com, then everything you need is just by following this steps:

  1. Edit C:/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/host

    2. Add your wishes:

    127.0.0.1 localhost
    127.0.0.1 yourdomain.com

  2. Edit C:/Program Files/xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

    3. Add these to the last lines:

    NameVirtualHost localhost:80
    <VirtualHost localhost:80>
    DocumentRoot e:/xampp/htdocs
    ServerName localhost
    </VirtualHost>

    NameVirtualHost yourdomain.com:80
    <VirtualHost yourdomain.com:80>
    DocumentRoot e:/xampp/htdocs/yourdomain
    ServerName yourdomain.com

    Hi,

    Why pay for hosting buddy?!!! Use your own pc as a server or just buy a cheap server system. Have peace of mind…. no tensions…cheers….
