In my case, I am using Ubuntu and I have to always test compatability of a site in IE browsers which cannot be installed in ubuntu. So what I did here is created a virtual host for my site in my local machine and using my ip address I created a virtual host in other machines so that I could easily access all my sites in my local machine from diffrent machines.
Consider you are creating a drupal website with multiple languages. We don't have to create two different sites for that. This can be achieved in the same site by using a module.
