Development

Django has the sites framework to support multiple web site hosting from a single Django installation.

EDIT (below is an incorrect assumption of the system)

I understand that middleware sets the settings.SITE_ID value based on a lookup/cache of the request domain.

ENDEDIT

But when testing locally, I'm at http://127.0.0.1:8000/, not http://my-actual-domain.com/

How do I locally view my different sites during development?
