How can I name the IP address?

Question

I am developing a web application using Tomcat. I want to specify a name (domain name), for example "google" to access my site.

How can i do this?

Answer 1

If you only want to specify a fake domain name for demo purposes on your development computer, you can add a line to your hosts file (usually located in / etc / hosts on UNIX / Linux systems):

# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1   localhost

# My fake domain name for demo purposes
192.168.1.121   google.com   

Then, when you open the google.com domain name on your computer, it redirects you to the specified IP address.

• You need to register a domain name and indicate it on your hosting

Most hosting companies provide both services, which means that you do not need to worry about “HOW” you do it.
