Set up URL redirect for a localhost site

I've developed a small site for an academic project, and I'd like to have it being shown as a live site, with its own domain name.

For example: I want to enter the domain name JustAnExample.com, but it should access the localhost.

I've tried to change the Hosts file, but it didn't work.

Solution

  • Changing the Hosts file should work!

    adding > 127.0.0.1 justanexample.com <

    will redirect it to localhost.

    this may help! Editing local host file
