GAE domains

How to register a domain with godaddy and enable free hosting on Google:
  • Purchase domain from godaddy
    • This will use the default godaddy nameservers (ns35.domaincontrol.com, ns36.domaincontrol.com, etc)
  • Set up Google Apps for domain
    • Complete signup form and request cname value to verify domain
  • Login to godaddy domain manager (advanced)
    • Add www forwarding to get naked domain to work (use masking)
    • Delete all the default cname values, which point to various services
    • Add google.com cname value and use default TTL
    • Add cname ghs.google.com with alias www
  • Add www sub domain through GAE dashboard
  • To enable email use this service
  • Had to wait 10 minutes before service was active
