I don't have any problems with static stuff. The solution is probably
simply to not include any hostname. What I have (on the server and
locally on my development box):

STATIC_URL = '/static_media/'


In case it still doesn't work: you probably use something else than the
standard runserver. In that case,
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#django.contrib.staticfiles.templatetags.staticfiles.django.contrib.staticfiles.urls.staticfiles_urlpatterns
applies. You have to add that to your urls.py. But normally, you don't
have to.
