Is it possible to remove the .herokuapp part of the url in a rails application running on heroku

Hello wonderful world of the stack!

This is my first deployment using Heroku (I am just using their free service at the moment).

I have set up my domain to point to Heroku and renamed my application and everything works fine. the one thing I would like to change however is the format of the final url.

For example, after typing in: 

www.example.com

The page loads and the url changes to:

example.herokuapp.com

Is there any way that I can change this behaviour so that the url remains the same?

I have tried using the help pages supplied by Heroku and various searches (usually similar searches to this question title) but I am not sure if I am searching for the correct thing as I seem to only get unrelated results.

Thanks in advance for any light you may be able to shed on this matter

This sound like a problem with your DNS Domain setup rather than heroku. Read about how to configure your domains properly for heroku use here.

It sounds to me as if you are doing some kind of 'web redirection' (custom stuff that each hosting provider offers) with your domain, when you should set CNAME or A Records.

Which provider hosts your domain / where did you 'buy' it?
