I always forget how to dot his because I very raely have to do it. Generally I just run Umbraco projects through Visual Studios and IIS Express. There's no configuration needed.
I am guessing you need to connect up a custom url to your project to test against a real domain name.
This requires hacking at your windows host file (assuming you are using windows)
you can skip editing the hosts file by using a subdomain of .localhost (works with Chrome) or of .localtest.me (works in all browsers). You still need to set whichever one you choose as a binding in IIS.

I have this video saved which helped me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thpk1X3NTMI
Thanks to Paul Seal who outs out a lot of good content.
I think you can get away with skipping to about 6.50 mins into the video.
Hope this helps.
