Localhost is a hostname that refers to the local machine currently making the request. On many computers, localhost is an alias for the IP address 127.0. 0.1. When a computer pings this IP address, it is communicating with itself.

How do I know what my local host is?

Use the IP address 127.0. 0.1 for localhost addressing. For example, enter "http://127.0.0.1" into any web browser, and you will see a web page hosted by a web server on the same computer if one is running. Most computers and devices will also allow "http://localhost" for the same purpose.
