Google App Engine + Custom Domain

Question

I tried to map a custom domain name for a site that I created in Google App Engine. However, the user domain does not apply to the site. Below are the steps that I followed after checking Google Help Sites and stackoverflow responses.

1. Created / uploaded Google App Engine website

http://myGoogleSite.appspot.com/

2. Domain name purchased

mydomain.com

3. Created a CNAME record with a domain name provider

Name: www

Value: ghs.google.com

4. Created a Google Apps account

https://www.google.com/a/mydomain.com

5. Verified domain name in Google Apps account

6. Included services for Google App Engine.

Added site http://myGoogleSite.appspot.com/ (Created in step 1)

7. Google Admin Panel

Settings> Select Google App Engine Website

Added new web address

http://www.mydomain.com

RESOLVED

The problem was resolved without any changes after a day. I think the CNAME record that I added on the domain name server got applied in a day. Although I tested it through dnsstuff.com that day, and they were correctly reflected.

Answer 2

If CNAME www does not work when redirected to ghs.google.com, try ghs.googlehosted.com. These are at least some of their documents.

For a company that can pretty accurately sift through millions of pages for related data, their documentation for their own products sucks a lot.
