Settings > Hosts > Hosts Table
All your hosts of MAMP PRO are listed in the hosts table. For more structure, you can change the order of the hosts using drag & drop and you can also group hosts together. If the servers are running, then you can open a host by double-clicking on its name in your default browser.
In the header line of the hosts list, you can filter the list of hosts according to predefined criteria. In the footer, the “+” button lets you create a new host and the “-“ button lets you delete the selected host.
