First we re assuming that you have a wordpress site running on local server also called localhost on your computer and you have full access to it. Under the field option name scroll down and look for siteurl. Each line must begin with the address 127 0 0 1 this is the localhost address after the ip address type the name of the domain you wish to redirect to this address.
Change the domain name through the wordpress admin panel. Click the edit field icon which usually is found at the far left at the beginning of the row. You ll see two options called wordpress address url and site address url change these two urls to your target domain name.
