xip.io - A Magic Domain Name That Provides Wildcard DNS For Any IP Address

xip.io is a magic domain name that provides wildcard DNS for any IP address. Say your LAN IP address is  10.0.0.1.  Using xip.io,

10.0.0.1.xip.io   resolves to   10.0.0.1

www.10.0.0.1.xip.io   resolves to   10.0.0.1

mysite.10.0.0.1.xip.io   resolves to   10.0.0.1

foo.bar.10.0.0.1.xip.io   resolves to   10.0.0.1

...and so on. You can use these domains to access virtual hosts on your development web server from devices on your local network, like iPads, iPhones, and other computers. No configuration required!
 

How Does It Work?

xip.io runs a custom DNS server on the public Internet.When your computer looks up a xip.io domain, the xip.io DNS server extracts the IP address from the domain and sends it back in the response.
