How to cloak site address in address bar

I have a hosting account that I do not own a domain for, therefore my address is something like:

1.2.3.4/~myaccount

Is there any way of showing something like mysite.com in the address bar when someone accesses 1.2.3.4/~myaccount?

My idea is that there my be a way either in the .htaccess file, a PHP script, OR the system32/drivers/etc/hosts file on the computer itself.

Any ideas on how to do this without having to buy a domain name pointing to the IP address????

Thanks

 

I dont think this is possible unless you own the domain.

 

Are you able to update the .htaccess file for the subdomain? If so, I believe you can issue a directive that will change the address-- however I am not sure what it is.
