The easiest way to do a redirect is to create an additional Static/CGI/PHP application to handle requests to mywebsite.com.

Remove mywebsite.com from your current rails site. Create a new Static/CGI/PHP application. Then, create a new site named redirect. Select mywebsite.com as the domain, and add your new redirect application to the URL path of /. You will then need to edit your .htaccess file to handle the redirect.

We have documentation explaining it here: http://docs.webfaction.com/software/static.html#redirect-a-domain-with-a-static-cgi-php-app
