Just for reference, www.localhost.com almost certainly won't exist on
your machine. 

"Localhost" as a hostname only exists as it's in your "hosts" file,
stored in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc ,IIRC. 

so resolving http://www.localhost.com with or without :9000 won't get
you anywhere, whereas http://localhost:9000 should work, all things
being equal.

You will be able to "ping localhost" but you won't be able to "ping
www.localhost.com".

If you really wanted to you could put www.localhost.com into your hosts
file using notepad, but there's not much point.
