What I do to support my website(s) is to use the below URL/Domain Name
scheme:
https://example.com for the (obviously) remotely hosted website
https://example.tst for the local copy/devl of the website.
... and enter example.tst (and www.example.tst) in /etc/hosts
I employ *no other* complexity.
It might be tedious,but /etc/hosts could also contain entry lines for
https://a.example.tst
https://b.example.tst
https://c.example.tst
https://etc.example.tst
I can move back and forth (and step on my dick) by merely over-typing the
tst/com glyphs.
