tolocal.host and *.tolocal.host (all subdomains) resolve to 127.0.0.1 so you can use it for local development!
Normally you would have to create hosts file entries for different domains pointing to 127.0.0.1. This is can be very cumbersome!
tolocal.host solves this by resolving the domain name and all subdomains to 127.0.0.1, so you can use it right away! Here are a few examples:
- tolocal.host
- mysite.tolocal.host
- test.tolocal.host
- node-backend.tolocal.host
- sub1.sub2.sub3.tolocal.host
All of them will point to 127.0.0.1.
tolocal.site also belongs to me and resolves to 127.0.0.1 aswell.
Note: tolocal.host also supports IPv6, the AAAA records resolves to ::1.
This site is inspired by lvh.me, which does exactly the same! I just always forgot the name, so I registered tolocal.host, edited the DNS to point it to 127.0.0.1 and created this page. It's very simple really!
