http://localhost

Hi there,

Does anyone know the technical diff between the following:

http://localhost
http://127.0.0.1
http://loopback

The above three address does the same thing, but is there any diff b/w them (apart from the spellings)?


Thanx

 

There really is no difference. localhost refers to the lookback IP address which is always 127.0.0.1

 

Yeah i agree with jliu, there is no difference in the above URLs, you can verify them by installing web server on you local PC.
