    Refaved from Mike:

    Cannot create naked or alternate domains for my GAE app. - Google App Engine | Google Groups

    OK - you have to go BACK a version in the Google Apps control panel in order to direct your AppEngine app to a naked domain!

    In Google Apps Domain Settings
    (https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/YOURDOMAIN/DomainSettings)

    set Control Panel to "Current Version" (and NOT Next Generation).

    This will let you type an arbitrary URL (including a naked domain) instead of requiring a sub-domain.

    You still have to add the A records in your DNS to point to ghs.google.com - actually google recommends these ip addresses:

    * 216.239.32.21
    * 216.239.34.21
    * 216.239.36.21
    * 216.239.38.21

      I see that both g02.me and www.g02.me work. Did you have to do anything special to make that happen? It's what I would want as a no-brainer -- people leave out the www and it ought to work.

      They now point to the same page (had to use the hack in my other Fave to add the "naked domain"). For best SEO, it's generally recommended to choose a canonical URL - which in my case will be the nake domain. So I need to implement a 301 permanent redirect if a user arrived via www.g02.me.
