How to open an Angular app other than localhost?

Question

I want to open my angular app other than localhost for my development purpose but running into below error, any guidance on how to fix it?

username$ ng serve --open --host=ibaitdev.company.com
getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND ibatdev.company.com
Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND ibatdev.company.com
    at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:56:26)

I changed my /etc/hosts as below

#
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1       ibaitdev.company.com
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             ibaitdev.company.com

You can use any of those in your browser but you still need to append the correct port it is being served on in the browser URL — Igor

You now changed the spelling in your question, but did you run ng serve with the correct hostname? The error output still shows ibatdev. — Hans-Martin Mosner

Using ng serve --host 0.0.0.0 --disable-host-check will allow you to connect to the server using your IP 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost.

This will disable host check and allow to access from outside with IP address instead of localhost.

In newer versions of the AngularCLI (higher than v5), you can use 0.0.0.0 as the IP again to host it on your network.

You can do ng serve --host=127.0.0.1 and then when you go to your browser just go to that domain name. (127.0.0.1:4200)
