Using a custom domain
When you create an application with Google App Engine, the application is automatically served on the appspot.com domain as seu-app-ID.appspot.com . However, it is often desirable to serve your application in a custom domain that you own ( example.com ), in that domain's specific subdomains ( app.example.com ), or in any or all ( * .example.com ) subdomains that domain .

It's easy to do this with App Engine. First, of course, you must acquire a domain through a domain registrar. Once you have a domain, customizing your application to use your domain or subdomain involves three steps:
- Prove to Google that you control the domain.
- Configure Google's servers to recognize the domain.
- Update the DNS records in the domain registrar to point to Google's servers.
The entire process can usually be completed in a few minutes on your computer.
Please note that the instructions on this page are for App applications that use a normal HTTP connection and are not serviced by middle of Google Apps. Here are some related procedures that require different instructions:
- To serve your Google App Engine application through Google Apps, read about App Engine in the Google Apps help center.
- To assign an additional domain to your Google Apps services, read about the custom domains in the Google Apps help center.
- To add Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) (that is, an HTTPS address) to your App Engine application, you must use the SSL service provided with Google Apps. You will find SSL information and instructions for a custom domain.
