In the [last episode](http://watch-learn.com/video-tutorials/local-development-with-vagrant-part-02-multiple-sites-one-box-making-it-faster-wordpress/) we created two sites in one Vagrant box. But now when ever we want to accesses those sites we have to write something like `http://192.168.33.10/name-of-the-site`. So wouldn't it be cooler if we could access those sites by doing something like `http://name-of-the-site.dev`? Yes, yes it would be much cooler. That is why we are going to learn how to do just that in this last episode of Local Development With Vagrant.

In this episode of Local Development With Vagrant we are going to make virtual hosts for the sites we made last time.

Virtual Hosts Setup

When we create our Vagrant project with Scotch box, something very uncool happens. It creates 2.75 GB file on our hard drive. This is because we create new virtual machine for every projects. This can be good in some situations, but we just want to get our local environment going. And we don't need separate box for every project.

So in this episode I'm going to show you how you can have all your sites use just one box. It's going to save you a lot of disk space, I promise. Also we are going to install WordPress in this episode and make our box run faster.

In this episode of Local Development With Vagrant we are going to create multiple sites in one Vagrant box and learn how to make it faster.

Multiple Sites One Box, Making it Faster, WordPress

Vagrant is an app for creating development environments that suit the needs of the app or web site that you are building. In this tutorial we are not going to learn how to make your own special environment, but we are going to use already made one. A so called Vagrant box, in our case it's going to be [Scotch Box](https://box.scotch.io/).

In this episode we are going to setup Scotch Box, create a database and install Drupal 8 on it. Thus creating our local environment for developing Drupal 8 sites and themes.

In this episode of Local Development With Vagrant I'm going to show you how to install Scotch Box for Vagrant and then setup Drupal 8 site on it.
