32.  What is 127.0.0.1 and localhost?

The IP address 127.0.0.1 is reserved for localhost connections. These local host networks are reserved for the biggest customers or some very important people on the internet. To check whether the local host server is working fine you must ping the server and check for its response. If it is not responsible then the reason can be that the server is down or the network card is not in good condition. 127.0.0.1 is a loopback connection and if you get a response for this then it signifies that your hardware is in good condition.
