Hosting live project on AppHarbour with domain from GoDaddy

Question

I have a domain with GoDaddy and BigRock I want to host with appHarbour. Say I have a domain named "www.someDomain.com" and if some ones comes to this url if should show the application I have deployed on appHarbour.

1. Is this even possible ?
2. If yes, then how ?
3. Also I dont want my url to change

Is hosting live projects with AppHarbour recommended ?

P.S : My web app uses ASP.NET MVC and SQL.

Thanks

Answer 1

Yes, AppHarbor supports custom hostnames. From support response:

you'll essentially need to set up a CNAME for www.somedomain.com which point to your app on AppHarbor - for instance using the foo.apphb.com URL. If you're in doubt about how to configure a CNAME for your domain name on GoDaddy I'd recommend reaching out to them.

On the AppHarbor end you'll just need to add www.somedomain.com to your "Hostnames" section
