Sometimes it’s hard to get internet access everywhere, but you want to develop your website, How can you do it? Continue reading this post so you would understand it.
Things you need to know.
Your PC must act as a server as well as host, so that you can view your website and edit it or add new features to it.So how to do it ? It’s simple you need to create a localhost.
WHAT’S A LOCALHOST?
In computer networking, localhost is a hostname that means this computer. It may be used to access the network services that are running on the host via its loopback network interface. Using the loopback interface bypasses any local network interface hardware. ( Source: wikipedia)
HOW TO CREATE A LOCALHOST ?
We have tools such as XAMPP ,Wamp to do it. In future posts you would find all examples on XAMPP ,note that both are meant for same , I prefer XAMPP.

WHAT IS XAMPP ?
XAMPP is a free and open source cross-platform web server solution stack package developed by Apache Friends, consisting mainly of the Apache HTTP Server, MariaDB database, and interpreters for scripts written in the PHP and Perl programming languages. XAMPP stands for Cross-Platform , Apache , MariaDB , PHP and Perl . It is a simple, lightweight Apache distribution that makes it extremely easy for developers to create a local web server for testing purposes. Everything needed to set up a web server – server application (Apache), database (MariaDB), and scripting language (PHP) – is included in an extractable file. XAMPP is also cross-platform, which means it works equally well on Linux, Mac and Windows. Since most actual web server deployments use the same components as XAMPP, it makes transitioning from a local test server to a live server extremely easy as well. Read more at Wikipedia.
WHAT’S NEXT?
- Open XAMPP control panel , Start Apache and MySQL
2) Open you browser and enter localhost in address bar and if everything goes well you can see as below
How to work on it ? Look out in next post.
