Certainly its possible. Would work quite well. > This is a huge > website and I have tons of files served by Apache web server. AppEngine limited to 3000 files.

If that is not enough, its possible to make it work with unlimited files/updates, but will be more work - will need to code some handlers to serve files (say out of memcache or the datastore) - and would need a publish method too. But pretty much the sky is the limit. > does Google has any other solution to accomplish this task - hosting only > static website NOT my web apps. Google Sites. But dont know the limits. I dont think you can just upload arbirary files to specific urls. Otherwise Google Storage for Developers http://code.google.com/apis/storage/ sounds perfect for hosting static content. Pretty much unlimited in terms of number of files etc. Only one gotcha, I dont think you can serve a 'homepage' ie a file for "http://yourdomain.com/"; would have to have a filename http://yourdomain.com/index.html or what ever. > > Thanks. > > -Rao > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Google App Engine" group. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-appengine/-/SHlqUGFDTldMQUlK. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
