Django-registration "gaierror at /accounts/register/ [Errno -2] Name or service not known"

I am trying to implement django-registration, but I get a gaierror on the registration page with the following traceback:

Internal Server Error: /accounts/register/
Traceback (most recent call last):
  #irlevant
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/registration/views.py", line 36, in form_valid

    for res in getaddrinfo(host, port, 0, SOCK_STREAM):
gaierror: [Errno -2] Name or service not known

Here is my settings.py:

DEBUG = True

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']


EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '********@gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '*******'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
ACCOUNT_ACTIVATION_DAYS = 1
REGISTRATION_AUTO_LOGIN = True
SITE_ID = 1
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/'

Where should i check to find the mistake?

Hi i faced a similar problem i had blocked all ports except port 80 and 443 yet my project depended on external a service with another port. You can temporarily disable ufw and check if everything is fine.

sudo ufw disable

I faces the same problem, it was just an unstable internet connection because the problem disappeared as I changed my connection.
