As a robust integrated development environment (IDE), it makes it easy to create, debug, and deploy applications across multiple platforms. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Localhost\"><\/span>What is Localhost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before we dive into the process of changing localhost in Visual Studio, let&#8217;s take a moment to define what &#8220;localhost&#8221; actually is. Essentially, localhost refers to the loopback network interface of a local computer. In networking contexts, it&#8217;s often used to refer to the local computer itself. So, when you type &#8220;localhost&#8221; into a browser&#8217;s address bar, you&#8217;re telling the browser to connect to the web server on your own computer. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Change_localhost_in_Visual_Studio\"><\/span>Why Change localhost in Visual Studio?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several reasons why you might want to change localhost in Visual Studio. For instance:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You want to run multiple web applications on different ports on your local machine.<\/li>\n<li>You want to test your web application on multiple devices connected to your local network.<\/li>\n<li>You want to mimic a production environment by testing your application on a domain name.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Change_localhost_in_Visual_Studio_A_Step-by-Step_Guide\"><\/span>How to Change localhost in Visual Studio: A Step-by-Step Guide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re ready to change localhost in Visual Studio, follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the solution or project you want to modify in Visual Studio.<\/li>\n<li>Right-click on the web project in the solution explorer and select &#8220;Properties&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Select the &#8220;Web&#8221; tab in the properties window.<\/li>\n<li>Under the &#8220;Servers&#8221; section, choose the &#8220;External Host&#8221; option.<\/li>\n<li>Enter the desired domain name or IP address you want to use instead of localhost in the &#8220;Project URL&#8221; field.<\/li>\n<li>Click the &#8220;Create Virtual Directory&#8221; button to apply changes.<\/li>\n<li>Save the changes by clicking the &#8220;OK&#8221; button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>And voila! You&#8217;ve now successfully changed localhost in Visual Studio. This means that when you run your web application, it will now run on the domain name or IP address specified.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While changing localhost in Visual Studio may seem like a simple task, it can make a big difference in terms of testing your web applications in different environments and avoiding conflicts with other applications running on your local machine. So, give it a try and see how it can help streamline your workflow as a developer!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If You&#8217;re a Developer, You Need to Know How to Change localhost in Visual Studio If you&#8217;re a developer, chances are you&#8217;re no stranger to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12142,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3297],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Visual-Studio-ULTIMATE-GUIDE-How-To-step-by-step-Tutorial.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12507"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12507"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12507\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13460,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12507\/revisions\/13460"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
