+## `devServer.allowedHosts`
+
+`array`
+
+This option allows you to specify a whitelist of hosts that are allowed to access the dev server.
+
+```js
+allowedHosts: [
+    'host.com',
+    'subdomain.host.com',
+    'subdomain2.host.com',
+    'host2.com'
+]
+```
+
+Mimicking django's `ALLOWED_HOSTS`, a value beginning with `.` can be used as a subdomain wildcard. `.host.com` will match `host.com`, `www.host.com`, and any other subdomain of `host.com`.
+
+```js
+// this achieves the same effect as the first example
+// with the bonus of not having to update your config
+// if new subdomains need to access the dev server
+allowedHosts: [
+    '.host.com',
+    'host2.com'
+]
+```
