Steps for linking appspot to your domain name.

Me and my friend Senthil, have tried creating a domain name and linked it with google appspot. Below is the consolidation of the steps.

1)Go to godaddy.com and choose a domain name of your choice, pay and buy it.
2)Once you have bought u will have a new entry in your

3)You have a app created using google app engine and you have deployed it and running successfully. Now that you wanna link the appspot to a domain name of your choice which u created in godaddy. Lets c how do we do this step by step.

4)First step is go to www.google.com/a.

5)Click standard edition and add a domain you have created. Follow the steps.

6)YOU will be asked to verify your domain by adding randomly generated string into the CNAME record for your domain DNS. ( this step you have to do in goDaddy.com against your domain DNS)
ex... googlefffggghhh12345 (your unique string)
Once u have verified your domain. Next step is to add it in appengine.

7) Go to appengine.google.com. Click the application id you wanted to link with domain.

8) Administration->Application Settings-> Add domain

12) Now enter 'www.yourdomain.com' in browser it will be directed to your appspot.
