Oh interesting. Maybe I'm mis-understanding google's intention here. I had hoped to use app-engine to host a generic web-facing site. It seems like a brilliant platform for that. But perhaps this is not a primary use case considered by google? Or maybe that's what they mean by "users outside your org would be billed differently", perhaps the whole concept is still in its infancy.
But even so, I would be surprised, because a 100 person intranet site shouldn’t cost a small company $800 to host (surely a typical $40-$100 VPS on any old hosting provider would be more than sufficient). Oh well, I guess the marketing execs have some work to do. :) -----Original Message----- From: google-appengine@googlegroups.com [mailto:google-appeng...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Geoffrey Spear Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2010 1:22 AM To: Google App Engine Subject: [google-appengine] Re: Google apps engine for Business pricing Q My understanding that the the App Engine for Business offering you're describing is intended for intranet applications, and that the user count would be the number of users in your Google Apps domain. There's no "free quota" because the applications aren't free in the first place. As I understand it there's no quota system at all because the business model is different than the "pay for what you use" model in normal App Engine. (Although it may be reasonable to think you'd still have the limits of the non-billable quotas, maybe at different levels, to prevent, say, a 1-person "organization" from running some massive cluster computing application in the cloud for super-cheap...) Applications intended to be used by users outside your organization would be billed differently.
