Yes, I think you are misunderstanding what he is saying. Elsewhere I
suggested you look at things in pieces. I missed one; DNS. The internet
is millions of computers connected, each having a unique (well
technically that can be obfuscated too) address. Rather than having to
know the actual address of each, they devised a naming system so that
rather than having to remember 74.125.225.17, a user just asks for
Google.com. Some addresses are nonroutable (can't be used across the
internet. i.e. 192.x.x.x) and one is even more restricted, "127.0.0.1".
It is named localhost (meaning this computer).

All public DNS names are registered to prevent conflict on the internet.
However, you can override the "name to address" look up via your hosts
file. For example you could add the line "www.google.com 127.0.0.1"
then whenever you enter "www.google.com" into your browser, it will go
to your local host (assuming you are running a properly configured
server). BUT and this in important, only the computer whose hosts file
has been modified will do this. Everyone else will go to the actual
www.google.com site.

Now back to your misinterpretation. If you use localhost to build and
test, 'href="http://localhost/path/file.type"' will work on your server
but no one else's. You would either need to replace the
"http://localhost" part with the actual server name (i.e.
"http://www.example.com"), OR you could use a reference that tells the
server "Find 'path/file.type' in the domain that got you here to begin
with", then the "href=" would work on your localhost/development server
AND ALSO on the public server when you publish the page.
