Is there a paid localhost server?

I searched the internet and found nothing related. I want to set up a localhost server, to test my applications.

I have tested Xampp, Wampserver Easyphp and others...

  • Is there a system that gets paid?

  • The correct way to speak is "Server localhost", "HTTP Server", or another name?

I decided to look for a paid system to end this problem of tinkering with the configuration, a complete system and with visual features facilitate the day to day and I can dedicate myself to other things.

    localhost: equal to 127.0.0.1, points to your own machine. HTTP Server: usually runs on port 80 or 8080, are quite different things. Some known HTTP servers are Apache, IIS, Ngix. Xampp has the installation of Apache, PHP and Mysql together, I prefer to install them individually.

  • Look for 'HTTP server' or 'WEB server'. in this case check the available resources: Graphical interface and PHP support (or fast CGI). If I’m not mistaken, php nowadays comes with a built-in web server, not needing to install anything else. The use of a web server is only for production, better to use the built-in server for development. I’m not a PHP programmer, I program in other languages and many frameworks that work with embedded web servers and I don’t waste time setting up anything

    If you want time and money is no problem then install a visual studio, create an Asp.net MVC project and press play, it will be running on an IIS server of theirs. But the time you waste learning how to set up the ones you put there is a time you lose once and take knowledge to life. I think it’s worth learning.

  • @Ricardo a parallel doubt. Visual studio is better than Dreamweaver?

  • To say the best has to exist a need, all have advantages and disadvantages and so depends on what you want to do. If you can edit the question and tell more about your projects, size, technologies, etc it would be easier to opine.

  • Do you want a lodging is that? there are some free alternatives with some limitations.

In fact, what you mean is a web server. Strictly speaking, Xampp is not a web server per se. It is an application that has several built-in servers. In addition to apache, it uses mysql (among others). Easyphp works the same way.

Perhaps, you want a paid application with these features (which contains a web server, a database server, all built-in). That’s it, all right?

It even exists (example of Microsoft’s IIS), but I believe these two that you mentioned are the simplest to use. Tampering with configuration will be accurate on anyone (paid or not). What I suggest is to take a tutorial (or video lesson, at your discretion) and study how it works. At first, you have to have patience to really learn, but then things start to work more smoothly.

EDIT: Take a look at this video about Easyphp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn3NF3T55Tc

As colleagues have already said, programs like Xampp, Wamp and etc are 'pacotões' of programs like PHP, Mysql and Apache. Of these the Wamp is the one that has the friendliest interface, just access the http://localhost

But... setting up servers is something that is inevitable, even if there is a sysadmin in your work team that takes care of it, you will talk about server settings #fact

By the looks of it you must be starting to program for web now, so enjoy learning about web servers as well.

Good luck!
