A host with this address is mapped to your local loopback address. A
local loopback address is a special Internet address, 127.0.0.1, defined
by the Internet Protocol. A host can use local the loopback address to
send messages to itself. This means that any web browsing to this host
will actually be redirected to your computer. (Explanation courtesy of
