My experiences * Although it's cooler to have a domain, it's enough to map for example "vm" to the IP or virtualBox in the Windows host file. Then the wildcard will do the rest: vm/project1 vm/project2 It's much shorter than project1.dev.mydomain.com * I've tried the Virtualbox "shared" folder and Samba too.. and sometimes I'm having troubles with Samba way, Windows stops recognizing the Samba shared folder for some seconds. Sometimes also when coding in PHPstorm 3.0. PHPStorm tells me "In the background the files were changed".. you want to save what is in the memory of PHPStorm ? (files were not changed by anyone else than PHPStorm !) * With "shared" folder you can't test with permission files. (everything is 777) at least in Windows, because the filesystems are not compatible to do that. * Another adventage of VirtualBox is the snapshots. You need to test something crazy? Make a snapshot, test it.. then roll back. * for xdebug to work I needed to activate http://xdebug.org/docs/all_settings#remote_connect_back Probably because I'm not using domain and port forwarding doesn't work in Windows hosts file. I use kind of same setup to work in Drupal projects:
Windows + VirtualBox + PHPStorm.

My experiences

* Although it’s cooler to have a domain, it’s enough to map for example “vm” to the IP or virtualBox in the Windows host file. Then the wildcard will do the rest:
vm/project1
vm/project2
It’s much shorter than project1.dev.mydomain.com

* I’ve tried the Virtualbox “shared” folder and Samba too.. and sometimes I’m having troubles with Samba way, Windows stops recognizing the Samba shared folder for some seconds. Sometimes also when coding in PHPstorm 3.0. PHPStorm tells me “In the background the files were changed”.. you want to save what is in the memory of PHPStorm ? (files were not changed by anyone else than PHPStorm !)

* With “shared” folder you can’t test with permission files. (everything is 777) at least in Windows, because the filesystems are not compatible to do that.

If PHPStorm does not exhibit this problem, I'll have to try that for a while...

I'm not sure why it would be slow. If you are using SVN, it might be because of the extra scanning of the .svn directories, but even then it should still be fast enough.

One bit that bites me when using Zend's editor, and so might also happen with Eclipse, is that when accessing projects through Samba it is painfully slow. I ended up having to have the project on my local disk and syncing only changes using a plug-in, but that is less then optimal for the flexible setup you try to achieve.

No it’s not possible to use this on your own website since it’s written for Android. I don’t think there are emulators available that allows you to use android applications via normal browsers.
