It is possible to create a CNAME for a naked domain. Its not widely supported by all DNS hosts though. It does however have the side effect of breaking MX records - so email will not function on the domain. Example: http://centralops.net/co/NsLookup.aspx?domain=vacation-tours.co.uk&type=255&server=ns.hosteurope.com&class=1&port=53&timeout=5000 Alas cant make this work with AppEngine, because Google Apps says "Required field must not be blank", when trying to associate it :( This is what the 123-reg.co.uk admin has to say about it: "Warning - If you have an @ record set to a CNAME, all other @ records (including MX) will be ignored and set to the same domain to which it points." > > There's no limitation on what subdomain(s) you can map your app to, however > - it doesn't have to be 'mydomain' or anything else.
