asp.net mvc publish on windows without key word localhost

Question

I want to publish asp.net MVC web application on my windows laptop and I want to access published web application with my customized URL which not contained localhost keyword.

I tried it a lot but there are 2 problems:

1) I am not able to access the published site

2) If I publish as localhost I can reach my web application [Which I don't want]

This is not a question. Try it by yourself and if you encounter any problems ask a specific question. Describing what you tried and what your problem is. — nikos fotiadis, Nov 25 '18 at 14:38

Publish your site normally on IIS
Go to C:windows/system32/drivers/etc/
Open the hosts file with notepad
Go to the end of the last line and hit Enter, then add the following line
127.0.0.1 fatma.com
Save the file. Note: If Save As dialog shows up, choose another directory. Change Save as type to All Files. Press Save. Replace the hosts file in C:windows/system32/drivers/etc/ with this one.
Open your browser and type fatma.com This will open your localhost site. If you published your site on a different port for example 8090, you can reach your site by fatma.com:8090
