If you’re developing a site in WordPress or similar on your local machine and want to run your site from //customsitename instead of //localhost in WAMP every time you test, or even have a bunch of virtual hosts like //sitename1 //sitename2 etc, here’s how to do set them all up:

Open wamp64/bin/apache/apachex.x.xx/conf/extra/http-vhosts.conf and make a duplicate of the Virtual host entry for your localhost, paste it below localhost’s and change the ServerName, DocumentRoot and Directory to your own names and locations. DO NOT replace localhost, copy and paste it below. Change the names like for example:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName yoursitename
DocumentRoot C:/wamp64/www/yourfolder
<Directory  "C:/wamp64/www/yourfolder/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All Require local
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


Save.

Then, open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts in administrator mode and below:

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

add

127.0.0.1 yoursitename
::1 yoursitename

Save and restart WAMP. Go to your localhost page and you will see it show up as a clickable virtual host.

It is now configurable from the Wamp Aestan Tray menu.

1. Right-click on wamp icon in your system tray on the right.
2. Go to “wamp settings”
3. Enable “Add localhost in URL”
4. If you see the green tick mark, it is enabled.

Now refresh your localhost home page and check URLs. It should be working perfectly.

In older versions of WAMP:

Open wamp/www/index.php

Change this line:

$suppress_localhost = true;

To :

$suppress_localhost = false;
