Within the Apache config file, perhaps in /etc/apache2/httpd, you need to set ServerName. https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/name-based.html

You can set the server name to almost anything, example.com or mytestserver.com.

If you need to visit your sites from another computer you can either enter its IP address as the URL or example.com or mytestserver.com but you need to modify your hosts file (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file))

Example hosts file;

192.168.0.10      example.com

Localhost is probably not a good idea as that has special meaning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost

I hope this helps you.
