What is meant by 127.0.0.1 and local host?..

Answer / Ragi Arya

127.0.0.1 is an IP address (also known as loopback address) that always refers to the local computer, regardless of its actual network configuration. Localhost is a synonym for the loopback address and serves as a way to access services running on the same machine.
