Take 5, and Set Up a Web Server!
Yes, you can install a local web server in 5 minutes. Mac users rejoice and behold the covenant of MAMP. PC users, see XAMPP.
Any web developer worth talking to will speak to the importance of being able to create a staging site for a project on the fly. MAMP really makes this easy. MAMP Pro is worth it’s weight in gold, because not only can you have a local server up and running in no time, but you can have unlimited hosts easily added with a few clicks. Oh, and you can server it up through dyndns.com, and configure the server modules, and… tumble.
All you have to do is install, click and configure. Choose a document root and a host URL in the preferences screen. Then realize how incredible it is not to have to adjust host files and buy MAMP Pro.
