The following are some of the advantages of setting up a local webserver:

You can design websites (WordPress or Joomla) on your laptop without being connected to the Internet. You will also be able to install Moodle, Prestashop, Drupal, etc on the localhost.
You can duplicate your live website (WordPress or Joomla) on your laptop to explore it so as not to mess up the live website
You can have a duplicate copy of your live website on your laptop
You can test plugins or themes on your laptop without affecting the live website. Some plugins can break your live website when you install it.
You can test updating WordPress, plugins and the theme on the localhost of your duplicated live website. If updating works on the laptop, then there is a big chance that it will work on the live website. It is important that you have your web control panel login details before you update WordPress, plugins or the theme as well as making a backup beforehand.
