How to&Answers:
Create a virtual host as such:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName sub.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/public_html/sub"
</VirtualHost>
And in your hosts file add this line:
127.0.0.0 sub.localhost
Here is a useful tutorial you might find helpful.
Answer：
You can make your browser to point to any domain/subdomain that you want as long as you put the ip – hostname definition in your c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file, for example:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 sub.localhost
or on the same line separate by space:
127.0.0.1 sub.localhost subsub.localhost local.host
Answer：
Add the following to your local hosts file. On windows, it’s located at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.
127.0.0.1 sub.localhost
Replace 127.0.0.1 with whatever IP address you want.
