I was using dot West for the longest time until I moved to catty server and catty server will only work if you use dot local host or dot local, which is something that your computer recognizes those two things as like on your local network. There's even a list of top level domains on GitHub that the browser's ingest. And basically, if you have a website like Scott dot, verse, L dot com, the browser knows to treat that as if it were Scott dot com.
In this Hasty Treat, Scott and Wes talk about why you might need to tunnel to your local computer, and how to set that up securely.
