title: Accessing Django Runserver on Shared Hosting
body: <p>I'm developing a Django application on a shared hosting service (hostmonster) and am, of course, unable to access the runserver on the default localhost ip of 127.0.0.1:8000 over Firefox. The Django Project site's documentation details how to set up remote access to the run-server, but I'm not having any success with that. Setting the runserver to 0.0.0.0:8000 leaves it inaccessible. Though I figured it wouldn't work, I tried to configure the runserver to my home ip address. That gave me a "That IP address can't be assigned-to" error, as I'd expected.</p>
  
  <p>So, I tried configuring it to my hosted IP, the one through which I SSH in the first place. That set up properly, but still was unable to access the address via Firefox. When I plug in the IP address on its own, I just get a hostmonster error page. When I affix the port number, the connection times out. When I plug in the IP, port number and the /admin to access the Django admin page I've created, I also time out.</p>
