How can i browse the production website while also working on a local development enivornment?
Right now i'm using the HOSTS file to propogate the domain's URL to the local version:
127.0.0.1 website.com
and when i want to browse live i have to edit it and do
#127.0.0.1 website.com
and restart the browsers to see live
I would like it to be a simple process that doesn't require me to be in either or and have access to both dev and live at the same time in difference browsers or instances. One solution i came up was maybe throw up a virtual OS, but seems bit much just to view one website.
Any simple solutions?
Development enironment:
Windows Vista 64 bit
