Mostly!

Google recently disabled the ability to add an additional domain to an 
existing account - you can now add an alias domain, but not a domain 
with distinct email addresses.


Whilst this is a PITA in my particular circumstances, it's not a huge 
deal - but there was no announcement, and Google's support folks are 
pretending that it has always been that way, which is simply not true.


This has considerably reduced my faith in Google's commitment to not 
reducing the functionality of these grandfathered accounts, and I've 
essentially stopped starting up new projects in them.

recommend trying find someone at google that can expedite it (maybe

The credit counts against your App Engine charges, not against Google Apps.
The credit is an offset against the Apps charges, as noted in the post

To be clear: yes, you pay the $50/year/user Google Apps charge, but then
you can use the credit to receive a free $50 worth of App Engine
services.

Change to the yearly payment plan. If you pay monthly, you pay
$5/user/month ($60/year/user). The yearly payment plan is $50/year/user.

Hi James,

In this case, you can skip Google Apps for domain configuration altogether.
Open up a Cloudflare account and use their reverse-proxy service to connect
your domain to your App Engine account.

Of course, the downside of this configuration is that you won't be able to
use other Apps services such as Gmail and the like. But your GAE app will
work fine.

This page still states that a new app should get one Google Apps Standard 
Edition for free:

https://developers.google.com/appengine/articles/domains

Just created a new app.  But, the links take you to the paid (not free) 
Google Apps for Business page.

Hi Andrew,

What happens at the end of the trial? Is the account simply deleted and the 
domain-mapped application stops responding on the given domain name?

Thank you,

Balazs

 Thanks for clarifying, Greg - I'd hoped there would some dispensation like 
 this.

 I've still got a problem though, because this means you can only have one 
 sender email address per app. I believe that I can't use aliases to the 
 same user to add two addresses as appengine developers, and anyway if you 
 need different behaviours (like a vacation responder on the noreply user) 
 you're out of luck. So currently this means paying out an extra $150 a year 
 per app, or looking at switching MX records so the domain's email is 
 handled by another server (assuming we can do that without breaking 
 anything).

 Any chance of raising the standard apps accounts you get through appengine 
 have more than the limit of one user (preferably the original ten ;)? 
  Maybe make this available only to billed apps to reduce abuse by people 
 wanting free apps accounts.

 Cheers!

 accounts per domain. So this is potentially going to add $600 per year to 
 our costs - all for virtual accounts that don't actually use Google Apps 
 at 
 all.

 Can someone from Google comment please? Either Google Apps accounts 
 need to remain free if they are associated with Appengine apps, or there 
 needs to be another way to link domains (and authorise email addresses) 
 for 
 Appengine.

Jeff,

You're probably right that no-one in GAE team has input on pricing strategy 
for Google Apps, so therefore pointless to vent here. It's a good point and 
I apologize for diluting a tech thread with this. But it's also not 100% 
impossible that Greg could put a word through to someone with sensitive 
ears willing to consider grandfathering a few worthy exceptions. It is not 
unheard of. I actually heard there were some cases individually considered. 
I wouldn't bother, but some good things are resting on it. And Frantisek, 
It's easy to be blase about money when you're consulting and the money is 
flowing in. I've been there. But voluntary work is unpaid, and in 
the Philippines just $10 means the difference between a child keeping their 
teeth or not, for example. But I digress, don't worry, I won't be making a 
nuisance of myself here; if anyone has a relevant contact in Google I can 
approach, please let me know.

Thanks,
River.

 The real problem is that calling a product Google Apps is stupid.  I

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Google Apps No Longer Free

2012-12-09 Thread River
Greg,

This is truly heartbreaking. A couple years ago I was about to sign up for 
the free 50 user account to build a social enterprise I had been planning 
for years, when my daughter was abducted. I had to drop everything and 
didn’t sign up, but I certainly would have if I’d known if was going away 
because it was critical to the plan.

 It took 2 years and going into huge debt to recover her. Now, I was just 
about to sign up for the free 10 user account to build a much scaled down 
version of the plan, and discover I have just missed it once again. 

Now I must abandon the plan completely because the entire viability was 
based around zero start up costs, since for the first few years of 
community work, it will have no income or contributions. Plus I am familiar 
with Google’s tools and don’t have the time to learn another platform. 

This is very sad. I put so much care and time into building this plan. Now 
a lot of good that would have been done will not happen. I was so exited 
about the free Google Apps offering, it revolutionized the ability for 
certain kinds of social enterprises to get started immediately without 
funding and start doing good in their communities. 

For some team efforts, a simple integrated infrastructure is everything and 
all you need to get started. I just wish I had had the foresight and street 
savvy to guess that it wouldn’t last and put in the 10 minutes it would 
have take to sign up back when it was 50 users, or at least yesterday when 
it was 10. Now I can’t do it at all.

Regards,
River

 I have no problem paying for a Google Apps account where I actually use

 link a domain to an Appengine app. Some of our apps have two or three 
 domains showing the same app, and because you need to have an account for

 Can someone from Google comment please? Either Google Apps accounts

 needs to be another way to link domains (and authorise email addresses)

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Google Apps No Longer Free

2012-12-07 Thread Peter Liu
Some question and feedback:

1. 

I am not sure it's related. Last Sunday one of our new google apps account 
we created for GAE domain was suddenly deleted.
Users can't hit GAE app with that domain, and Google 404 page is shown.

We quickly re-register the domain with Google apps and added back the 
domain and it's working.

This result in 2 hours of production down time.

2.

I don't know the transition detail, but will #1 happen again? Say if the 
domain we have right now has 2 users and we didn't add billing info,
will Google delete the domain in Google apps? 

3.

How do we downgrade the app account to 1 free user?

 It's also a point of principle. We are already paying for the App Engine

 It seems perfectly reasonable for Google to have made this change for all
 the other uses of Apps, but it seems to me that the App Engine/Apps

 If it's not possible to increase the account from 1 to n, at least

To be honest... GAE's email system has never been production quality.
 Every time it comes up in conversation on this list the advice from
longtime users (including myself) is always use a third-party service.
 It's not complicated - just enqueue a task that submits the (typically
REST) value to Amazon SES or one of the zillions of other companies that
focus on deliverability and customer support.

I don't consider this much of a shortcoming in GAE; there is no inherent
advantage in having email built into Google's infrastructure.  Sending an
email is just an API call either way.  I'd rather have Google focus on
things that third parties can't do well, like add features to the datastore.

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Google Apps No Longer Free

2012-12-07 Thread fj pecsy
Thank you Kyle!

I'm looking into it. But we are hoping that when Google realizes how petty
killing of the support for micro business's is, that they may change their
minds. My typical start up client is three to 4 people, but about half of
them are under three. Basically 'mom and pops'.  The client that I just
signed up is dad doing manufacturing, mom doing the sales and accounting
and packaging, daughter doing deliveries and customer service. They are
struggling. I recommended Google apps for them as a way to 'start off
right', 'standardize on a reliable service' and have a cost effective
solution for them as they grow. I get to be admin for them, and prove that
by being able to connect them with Google Apps service that I am a valuable
member of their team. So they win, and I win.

But Google also wins. Everything from good will, and living the 'do no
harm' philosophy, to getting first bite at the successful companies that
survive. I've set up many a client over the years for this kind of
solution. And many have grown into paid services-everything from the apps
upgrade itself to adwords. The decision to kill off services for these
kinds of business's hurts everyone, including Google.

 techamerica,

 Have you looked into Windows Live Custom Domains https://domains.live.com/? I 
 think what you could do is:

 1. Add your clients domain as Greg described.
 2. Setup your clients email using Windows Live
 3. Create regular google accounts (not gmail accounts) using the Windows
 Live email addresses e.g. u...@example.com
 4. Add the users as developers to the account so that you can send emails
 using their address.

 I haven't tested this, but I think it should work. It adds a few more
 hoops to jump through, but I guess that's the cost of free.

Stake in the heart of micro-non-profit, volunteer organization as well. I 
have supported several, and the number of volunteers times $50 is 
impractical. I am talking about micro-non-profits such as groups is small 
towns that organize to get levies passed (WA school funding phenom). They 
often have NO BUDGET because it is 100% volunteer. Oh well, we will

Thank you so much!  How do I star?  Anything to help us out would be

This decision of Google's to kill off support for micro business's is not
good for anyone. Where are those business going to go to?  You guessed it,
Google's competitors. It was just a mean spirited gratutious slap in the

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Google Apps No Longer Free

2012-12-06 Thread Greg
Thanks for clarifying, Greg - I'd hoped there would some dispensation like 
this.

I've still got a problem though, because this means you can only have one 
sender email address per app. I believe that I can't use aliases to the 
same user to add two addresses as appengine developers, and anyway if you 
need different behaviours (like a vacation responder on the noreply user) 
you're out of luck. So currently this means paying out an extra $150 a year 
per app, or looking at switching MX records so the domain's email is 
handled by another server (assuming we can do that without breaking 
anything).

Any chance of raising the standard apps accounts you get through appengine 
have more than the limit of one user (preferably the original ten ;)? 
 Maybe make this available only to billed apps to reduce abuse by people 
wanting free apps accounts.

Cheers!
(the other) Greg.
