I just turned it off because I had forgotten to a while back when I was playing with settings. In that case, running this command from Terminal should stop it: sudo apachectl stop Based on my own experience, it shouldn't start up automatically after that, even after a system restart. Or, if you want to start it manually: sudo apachectl start.

I had to google the exact HTML it was returning to find this comment. Also, interestingly running lsof -i didn't show anything running on port 80 which threw me for a while. This isn't necessary to make vanity URLs work, but I personally prefer using an.

In most cases, it has a separate IP address like When you are talking about a localhost, you are referring to when a server is used on your own computer. Conversely, this means that the term is only used in the context of networks.
Just like. When you try to access the domain, a loopback is triggered. Localhost has the IP address IP addresses are used within a network to communicate with each other. Each participant in the network has their own address. During transmission, the Internet Protocol is responsible for allowing the IP address and subnet mask to address subscribers in a network. However, certain address ranges are reserved for special purposes , like the range from There is no reliable information on why that range was chosen, but you are free to speculate.
The first class Class A started with 0. This important position could have been the reason why it was chosen. A Localnet can be set up within this address range. The special thing about this range is not only that it was reserved by ICANN, but is also that IP addresses are not uniquely assigned in it, as is usually the case.
But how does it work? For example, if you enter an IP address or corresponding domain name in your browser, the router will forward your request to the internet and to the correct server. This means that if you enter However, the situation is different with This then triggers the loopback. Conversely, the protocol does not accept external requests addressed to Packets reportedly appearing on the internet from reserved IP addresses like A loopback device is created so that the back link to your own computer works.
This is a virtual interface that is created through the operating system. With Unix systems, the interface is called lo or lo0 and can also be displayed using the ifconfig command. A similar command for Windows is ipconfig. If you consider the technology independently of the local host, a loopback can be created in an analog way: circuits in communication technology can then be used to determine whether the paths taken by the signal and the reception are correct.
Developers use the local host to test programs and web applications. Network administrators can also use the loopback to test network connections.
Another practical use for the localhost is the hosts file, where you can use the loopback to block malicious websites. During development, it is important to find out whether the application actually works as hoped once it has internet access. They can stimulate a connection while also avoiding the network detour: the connection instead just stays completely inside their own system.
