How can I set up my domain name on Google App Engine?

Question

I've made a website to go on App Engine, and have deployed it. I've redirected my domain name to ghs.google.com, and it successfully goes to my site.

The problem is that in the address bar, 'www.mysite.com' turns into 'myappid.appspot.com', and I haven't got a clue as to how I make it stay with 'www.mysite.com'.

It seems like such a simple thing, but It's starting to drive me insane!

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

Have a look at this quick guide, in essence:

Add a CNAME for www.yourdomain.com and point it to ghs.googlehosted.com.

Sign in to your application via appspot.com.

Click the Administration → Application Settings link.

Click the Add Domain... button under the Domain Setup section

Add www.yourdomain.com in the domain name box and click the Add Domain... button
