How can I get my OpenShift URL http://stats-lebronjamesstats.rhcloud.com/ to show as lebronjamesstats.com. I bought the domain name from Godaddy and setup forwarding and a CNAME record that has subdomain www point to stats-lebronjamesstats.rhcloud.com. I also ran the alias OpenShift commands:
rhc alias add stats lebronjamesstats.com
rhc alias add stats www.lebronjamesstats.com
I CAN'T do forward with masking because that breaks in browsers. Thanks for your help!

Was able to get a cname record for www to point to my OpenShift url and then do forwarding from lebronjamesstats.com to www.lebronjamesstats.com WITHOUT masking. All HTTP request now resolve to www.lebronjamesstats.com. I could use a third party redirector to get lebronjamesstats.com to show in the URL box. I might pursue this later.
Basically you'll need to add an "alias" to your application via the rhc command line tool or through the web console. Here's two resources that will show you how to do that step by step:
