Development server won't work from a shared web host

I have Django working from a shared host account (westhost).  I was able to follow all of the steps in tutorials 1 & 2 except the part on starting the development server.  Apparently westhost won't let you run that.  Without the development server, how do  I access the Django admin functions?

Thanks,
