Hi, On 21/01/15 16:04, PK wrote: Yes old Google Apps accounts are grandfathered with the terms of the time they were opened. 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. -- Regards, PhilK 'a bell is a cup...until it is struck' -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Google Apps No Longer Free
This has always been a scary risk. I vaguely recall some piece of documentation saying a week, but that could be out of date.

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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google App Engine group.

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Google Apps No Longer Free
Hi Pat - unfortunately as we announced last week - we are no longer able to offer the Google Apps Standard edition to App Engine customers. Instead (as Barry notes), we can offer a $50 credit toward your App Engine application to help offset the cost of your Google Apps for Business subscription. The terms and conditions of the credit, and the form to request one if you are eligible can be found here - http://goo.gl/akrPB The announcement itself is here - https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/google-appengine/jC_K-YlmXhM On Monday, 17 June 2013 12:52:32 UTC-4, Pat Glenn wrote: Hi Andrew, I set up my domain on the appengine (at least I think I did it correctly).

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 ;)?

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

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Google Apps No Longer Free
It seems that visiting the following URL: https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/standard/new3?refererName=AppEngine allows you to create Free Google Apps account with ONE user per domain (no matter if you use AppEngine or not). This is seems perfectly acceptable and fair to me (provided that this is not dsome sort of glith to be patched). If you need to have different e-mails for single domain, that's not a problem because you may use Catch-All address and GMail filters to sort these and/or forward them elsewhere. Again, if this is supposed to be a permanent solution, I am OK with it. If I need more than one physical account per domain then I will pay for those.

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

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

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Google Apps No Longer Free
Perhaps it's time the App Engine team put some serious consideration into how they might decouple the two services so that we can use our own domains in a more traditional manner? http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=8517 On Fri, Dec 7, 2012 at 12:19 PM, notreadbyhumans notreadbyhum...@gmail.com wrote: It's also a point of principle. We are already paying for the App Engine service through that infrastructure, and we are forced to use Apps because of a quirk of that infrastructure.

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 relationship is a slightly special edge case.

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Google Apps No Longer Free
I have been extremely happy with GAE mail sending and receiving state and is production quality for me and my customers. It needs additional features like being able to send and receive using custom domains but the stated capability works great for us, please stop taking every opportunity to bash it!!!

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

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Google Apps No Longer 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 persevere I am sure. Good thing kids holding signs on street corners is still free. -stevep On Friday, December 7, 2012 11:58:56 AM UTC-8, techamerica wrote: Thank you Kyle!

Thank you so much! How do I star? Anything to help us out would be gratefully accepted, not to mention much needed. 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.

Re: [google-appengine] Re: Google Apps No Longer Free
Hello Everyone, The Apps Standard account you have today will continue to work for free. If you create a new Apps account going through the App Engine Admin Console you'll still be able to create a Standard Apps account for free but you'll only be able to get 1 user per account rather than the 10 you get today. Let me know if you have additional questions, Greg D'Alesandre Senior Product Manager, Google App Engine On Thu, Dec 6, 2012 at 7:00 PM, Nickolas Daskalou n...@daskalou.com wrote: -1 Google.

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