I will also jump in and request simple and automatic SSL integration and improved DNS capabilities to easily redirect naked domains or implement simple rules (cloudflare is great, however appengine should do these things on it's own, using another service to handle these things makes me paranoid, they are extremely crucial) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.

I hadn't heard about Google Domains until I read it here... it does look very promising... I would also consider moving away from GoDaddy. I found this particularly encouraging... (I imagine comparable App Engine support for paid Apps is more difficult to implement???) Support With Google Domains, you get phone and email support (M-F, 9am to 9pm EST).

I wanted to share my recent partial success with naked domains... with the new cloud console "Custom Domains" you can map your naked non-SSL domain to your app. After doing that... I detect the naked domain as part of my 'require SSL' logic in the App and redirect to https://www.mydomain.com. So now if someone types "mydomain.com" or "mydomain.com/anypath" in their browser it redirects to "https://www.mydomain.com/anypath";. So the cloud console helps plug a hole left by the Google Apps alias domains. The only thing I can't do now is map my SSL naked domain to my app but that is likely solvable with a wildcard SSL certificate (that I'm too cheap to pay for).

We have a wildcard SSL and we still can't do that. If anyone has succeeded in mapping naked SSL please come forward and share your genius.

Plus GoDaddy charges for additional services such as private domain registration, while Google Domains seems to offer it for free: http://domains.google.com/about/features.html .
