Two things:
1. I'm pretty big on using Amazon microinstances for this sort of thing
if it's a small traffic site. $12 a month and full virtual machine. YMMV (I
know a few people on the list do not lurv the Amazons... ).
2. It's simple once you know how to get mysite.com on heroku (google if
the below is not clear). You need to add in the custom domain plugin and
then add the following records in your DNS provider (ie. Zerigo etc):
- Your top level ie. mysite.com domain needs to have three A records
created and pointing at 174.129.212.2, 75.101.145.87, and 75.101.163.44
respectively
- Then create a CNAME record for www.mysite.com pointing at
proxy.heroku.com
- (note you can also create any other subdomains that way as well).
ie. blog.mysite,com pointing at proxy.heroku.com

Hosting at a mysite.com domain on heroku is pretty easy
