HostControl allows you to control your localhost. This means, you can control your webserver, database server, or any other server that HostControl is capable to handle. You can start and stop them right from your system tray. Also, there is a prefix window, that allows you to access your localhost files faster. Just click on the system tray icon, and enter the URL.
HostControl is designed for the webdeveloper that uses his/her localhost servers only from time to time. So you only activate the server with HostControl when you need it. This will spare system resources in times you won't need those servers. Also the prefix window provides a fast way to access your localhost files.
