I am trying to build a web server using ESP8266. To achieve this I have done the following :
1. Set WiFi Mode = 2 ( CWMODE = 2 )
2. Configured it as acccess point. ( CWSAP)
3. Configured the TCP Server.

When i type the address IP address of the host ( received by printing AT+CIFSR) , i can see the HTML page in my browser.

My question is : Is it possible to attach a host name here , so that I can type a host name in the browser address bar instead of an IP address to access the same page ?

e.g. Currently i type 192.168.4.1 in the browser address and I see my HTML page. Instead of this I would like to do : http://myserver.here or myserver.local.
Is this possible ?

Thanks ,
SKC
