Just to make sure I understand correctly: 1. I must pay for GAE hosting if it exceeds the minimum limits. 2. I must pay $9/month for Google Apps, even though I don't need or use Google Apps... Google just requires me to manage GAE through Google Apps now, and apparently it's an easy way for them to get more money. 3. I must pay $99/ year for an SSL certificate (e.g. RapidSSL) for a custom domain. 4. I must pay up to $39/month for the privilege of Google recognizing that SSL cert.
So if I want a low-use GAE app without a SSL on a custom domain, it used to cost $0/year or more. If I want a low-use GAE app with SSL on a custom domain, it costs $783 per year or more. Certainly I must be missing something. If not, this is certainly a new policy. I have existing app for which I was able to install an outside SSL certificate at no cost. Are these older apps grandfathered in? Will I suddenly be stuck with a giant bill once my other SSL certificates expire? ...and does anyone know when the documentation is going to be updated? All of it is now wrong: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2644334 https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/ssl You'll forgive me if I'm frustrated. I've now spent more than four hours on the phone with support, and not a single person can give me a straight answer, or point me to updated documentation. I feel like I'm being taken for a ride. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
