DNS Record for OpenShift V3

I recently bought a domain name, and I'm trying to redirect this domain name to an OpenShift v3 web application. (This is my first time creating such things, so bear my ignorance.) Normally OpenShift provides a host name, something like:

myapp-myproject.preview.openshiftapps.com

Based on a conversation with my domain name registration support company (not GoDaddy), I need to have some static IP address from my web hosting provider to add a link to my domain name in the DNS record or NameServer (in my domain name page account). It seems like they have no idea that PaaS, such as OpenShift, does not provide a static IP address for hosted web applications.

What I did was get the above URL from OpenShift and add this DNS record as a CNAME type that still doesn't work.

Anyone here who has an idea what I should get from OpenShift to link my domain name and web application?

The CNAME approach should be used. In this case, you do not need a static IP address, but it will use the FQDN of the OpenShift entry point. Then you also need to open the service in OpenShift through your fully qualified domain name and not allow it to use the generated file.

If you use the OpenShift V3 preview, I believe that the use of custom domains is not included. The only way I know to have a custom host name with a developer preview is to use the proxy service in front.

By the way, note that the developer preview provides you with a time-limited account. You should not use it for real websites.
