What is Localghost?

Localghost is a utility that simplifies the process of mapping development host names to the local machine's IP address. It provides a status item, such as a system tray icon, that allows users to quickly add or remove entries in the /etc/hosts file. This enables developers to easily manage the mapping of their local development environments without having to manually edit configuration files
