    Localhost refers to the local machine currently making a request. The IP address for localhost is 127.0.0.1. Application developers use localhost to test programs privately without exposing websites to the public prematurely. Setting up a local host involves enabling IIS features in Windows, starting the WWW publishing service, and placing HTML files in the wwwroot folder to view at localhost in a browser. The main differences between a local host and public hosting are that a local host is free but provides no support, while public hosting requires payment but offers server resources, support, and the ability for multiple collaborators to work on a live website.

    Que 1 What is a local host?


    Ans - Localhost is a hostname that refers to the local machine currently making the request. On
    many computers, localhost is an alias for the IP address 127.0.0.1. When a computer pings this
    IP address, it is communicating with itself. Localhost is useful for software testing and security
    purposes independent of a larger network.

    Que 2 What is IP address for local host?


    Ans - Like any other domain name, localhost also has an IP (Internet Protocol) address. The
    addresses range from 127.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255, but it’s normally 127.0.0.1. Trying to open
    the address 127.0.0.1 in an IPv4connection will trigger a loopback, referring you back to your
    own web server. You can also start a loopback back to your own server with an IPv6connection
    by entering :1.

    Que 3 Why we use local host?


    Ans - Application and web developers use localhost this way all the time, as a private testing
    server for websites and applications. Localhost lets you test programs on your computer
    without sending files through the internet, which is more secure and won’t expose your website
    to the public before it’s ready.

    Que 4 How have we set up our local host?


    Ans - Actually, it’s pretty simple to do.

    Step One: Enable Internet Information Services


    Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows Features on or off
    Ensure that Internet Information Services is selected
    Note: FTP Server does not need to be selected
    Ensure that Internet Information Services Hostable Web Core is selected

    Step Two: Enable WWW Publishing Service


    Go to Computer Management -> Services and Applications
    Select World Wide Web Publishing Services
    Right Click -> Properties -> Startup Type “Automatic”
    Right Click -> Start

    Step Three: Setup Index in wwwroot folder


    Go to OS(C: drive) -> inetpub -> wwwroot
    Note: There should be two files already there, automatically generated by Microsoft
    Paste or Save HTML files to this root folder
    Step Four: Open Root Files using Localhost
    Open an internet browser
    In the address bar type “localhost” –> hit enter
    The browser should display the HTML file labeled “index” (or the first HTML file it comes across)

    Que 5 What is different with Local Host and public hosting?


    Ans – We can understand the difference with the pros and cons as follows :
