The whole custom domain is extremely complicated. I have written in the past that “PaaS makes many difficult things easy and a few easy things difficult or impossible”.
Google AppEngine custom domains and SSL support is an example of the latter. I am still hopeful that Google will listen but a comment/post from Google would be encouraging.

Naked Domains used to work, then they broke it. They clear the stars when they unbreak it for a few hours, then they break it again. Also if your naked domain has a different DNS record than your WWW Google the search engine gives you a pretty stiff penalty. Awesome don’t you think? Yeah me to.

Generally the easiest option is to redirect the "naked domain" to the www host. You can use Google Apps to do the redirect, but note that Google Apps doesn't preserve path information while redirecting. Most registrars provide the ability to do the redirects for free; which registrar are you using? If you're using GoDaddy, you can go into Launch Domain Manager > Add Forwarding > select the 301 Permanent redirect option > select Forward Only (NOT forward with masking). Other registrars have similar settings. ----------------- -Vinny P Technology & Media Advisor Chicago, IL App Engine Code Samples: http://www.learntogoogleit.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
