local hosting

[Reasteh]

not sure if this is the right section but meh.

i've made a sort of intranet hosted locally on one of the spare computers using wamp, however the address for example is blahblah.somecompany.local/website.

Is there a way of changing the name to something more simple such as http://company

Or would it have to have its own seperate domain?

I've not used WAMPP, but I've used XAMPP, which works in this way.

Or, you can install Apache, PHP and MySQL (if required) separately. When Apache asks for a domain, IIRC you just enter 'localhost'.
