title: How to access Django runserver on a hostname rather than an IP address
body: <p>My setup - Ubuntu 14.04 running on VirtualBox  4.3.24 client hosted on Windows 7.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to access my Django 1.7 dev server from another local PC, referenced by hostname rather than IP address - as the IP address could change.</p>
  
  <p>./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 works fine. The client PC browser can see my app on 192.168.2.xx:8000 But if I reboot the VirtualBox xx could become yy.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to start runserver with a hostname? </p>
  
  <p>Ideally I'd like to access the Django app with something like <a href="http://djangodev:8000" rel="nofollow">http://djangodev:8000</a> in the client browser. (I tried ./manage.py runserver djangodev:8000 - but 'Name or service not known')</p>
  
  <p>Should I be looking to setup VirtualBox with a static IP instead of looking to configure runserver?</p>
  
  <p>Many Thanks.</p>
