Django 1.5 made a change with https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/releases/1.5/#allowed-hosts-required-in-production
"The new ALLOWED_HOSTS<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/ref/settings/#std:setting-ALLOWED_HOSTS>setting validates the request’s Host header and protects against host-poisoning attacks. This setting is now required whenever DEBUG<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/ref/settings/#std:setting-DEBUG>is False, or else django.http.HttpRequest.get_host()<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/ref/request-response/#django.http.HttpRequest.get_host>will raise SuspiciousOperation<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/ref/exceptions/#django.core.exceptions.SuspiciousOperation>. For more details see the full documentation<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/ref/settings/#std:setting-ALLOWED_HOSTS>for the new setting."
