A description of the ALLOWED_HOSTS variable in "settings.py" would be applicable to this section because the ALLOWED_HOSTS variable is required if the DEBUG variable is False; as described in a comment above the ALLOWED_HOSTS line. Not mentioning this necessity at this step in the tutorial can cause confusion when creating a template for "404.html". The ALLOWED_HOSTS variable will cause a 500 error when incorrect when a novice user is expecting a 404 error. The ALLOWED_HOSTS variable should be set to 'localhost' for the tutorial.
