I've tried to add a custom domain for my app, my own domain, instead of default example.appspot.com.

But just figured out that Google don't allow to use Google Apps for free anymore. Only Google Apps for Business.

Actually I don't need anything provided by Google Apps for Business, just need to use my own domain for my GAE project. But seems that now there no way to use custom domain w/o signin for Google Business account? and paying $50 a year.
Is it correct? Is there any other way to add custom domain to GAE?

  • I believe if you register for the trial version and just let it expire (make sure your CC isn't autobilled) then the custom domain for GAE will continue to function though you won't be able to use other Google Apps services like Gmail. I have not fully tested this myself. – Jay Lee Jul 02 '13 at 11:11
  • Heh, that's could be working :) But seems that there're no guarantie, I still hoping that there are more official way – Igor Artamonov Jul 02 '13 at 11:19

UPDATE: see comment from @JW.

I just discovered today (as of 2014-04-11) a new custom domain settings page is available from Google Developers Console:

Go to https://console.developers.google.com/project Click on your project On the left click "App Engine" Click "Settings" There you go! You can configure custom domain without the need of Google App account!

Register for Google Apps for Business and apply for $50 credit.

Starting June 15 and for a limited time, Google will offer a USD $50.00 App Engine credit for Google App Engine developers who have recently purchased a new Google Apps for Business domain account for their App Engine application.

    @Chameleon Sorry, I misunderstood your question. I found it in this Google Group: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-appengine/jC_K-YlmXhM/XPJYq1HUgusJ – Loša Jul 03 '13 at 08:54
  • Just so you know, Google has now added a "custom domain without GApps" feature. See the next answer. – David May 17 '14 at 14:20
