Mapping domain name to free PAAS web hosting cloud URL


Several companies offer a PAAS web hosting services for free, e.g. Amazon, google, cloudbees. When you use their service they assign a URL to accessing your app. If you use Google App Engine, for example, you are told the URL to access your app is something like http://your_app_id.appspot.com

If I own domain name, say myxyz.com, is it possible to somehow map this domain to the assigned Google App Engine URL?
So for example a request such as: http://myxyz.com/myApp?a=3
would also be forwarded to: http://your_app_id.appspot.com/myApp?a=3
but i'd like the user to still see, in the browser address field, the myxyz.com URL?
assuming it's possible, which company should one approach to perform this mapping?
