Hi,

I was wondering the steps I can take to change the localhost name to a test development domain name like "website.dev" on Win7 x64 ? Currently, when my test website builds its assigned to 127.0.0.1:81 but I want this to instead have a name like "website.dev" that is accessible on my local network ?

[and sure any Virtual PCs built on this local PC]

I think this is done via the hosts file but I am little unsure how to do this ? Would someone be able to assist ?

Thx
