Support for Virtual Domain Names; Save Money, Stress, and Enhance Security

Support for Virtual Domain Names; Save Money, Stress, and Enhance Security

ServBay allows the creation of various virtual domain names, even non-existent ones like .test and .demo, so developers do not need to purchase domain names during the development phase, saving substantial costs while preventing premature domain exposure. For these virtual domain names, ServBay can also automatically generate SSL certificates to protect developers' project security.

DNS and Hosts Management in One Interface

ServBay provides a user-friendly management interface that allows simultaneous management of DNS services and system-hosted hosts files, including IPv4 and IPv6 records, enhancing the efficiency and convenience of domain management.

Say Goodbye to Hosts File Editing Hassles

ServBay offers an intuitive visual hosts file editor, allowing for import, export, validation, and restoration with a single click, eliminating the need for manual editing and avoiding complications and errors!

Isolation of Development Environments Ensures Security

By completely isolating development traffic through the virtual domain system, it prevents testing domain names from being indexed by search engines or detected by hackers, eliminating the risk of sensitive information leakage.
