NEW DEVELOPMENTS! (if you have Chrome 63+)

If your localhost domain is .dev then I don't think the previously accepted and working answers no longer apply. This is because as of the Chrome 63 Chrome will force .dev domains to HTTPS via preloaded HSTS.

What this means is, .dev basically won't work at all anymore unless you have proper signed SSL certificate -- no more self signed certificates allowed! Learn more at this blog post.

So to fix this issue now and to avoid this happening again in the future .test is one recommended domain because it is reserved by IETF for testing / dev purposes. You should also be able to use .localhost for local dev.
