Hi @SapthagiriMeesa-9336

For better understanding the issue, I want to confirm something with you:

  1. Does the issue also occur in other browsers?

  2. Could you please provide an example about how you edit the host file?
    Based on my understanding, you mean editing localhost to your domain name and then your domain point to 127.0.0.1. Correct me if I have any misunderstanding.
    I made a test to add this line 127.0.0.1 www.example.com in host file and it works well. When I visit www.example.com in all browsers, it opens the localhost IIS page.
