how to serve appspot.com apps on custom domain?

I have an application http://faqs4j.appspot.com. I have purchased a domain called jobs4j. I added domain using application settings in app engine console and also made necessory CNAME changes in godaddy DNS managing console.

Now when I type in browser in.jobs4j.com it simply ridirects to http://faqs4j.appspot.com.But I want my application to be served under sub-domain in.jobs4j.com and not just redirection to appspot domain. what configuration I am missing?

thanks for your time.

Unfortunately, Google has ended the option to have a free Google Apps account, sigh!

However, we could still point the GAE app from a custom domain (non-Google apps owned).

Step 1 : Go to Application Settings in the GAE dashboard and add a custom domain. You will be asked to verify the domain during which Google would basically create a TXT record in your DNS zone file.

Step 2 : Once the 3rd party domain is verified, add the custom domain for the app (my-gae-app.mydomain.app). It shows instructions on how to add the CNAME entry for the domain.

Hope this helps!

In the application dashboard, under administration / application settings, you have a section titled "Domain setup". In it you can configure domains to be used for this application.

The process will require you to set up a "google apps" account (don't worry, a single-user domain is free), then transfer the domain(s) you want to be managed by Google apps by setting up a CNAME entry in your domain zone file. The instructions show you how to do it. Of course, where the instructions recommend you define your CNAME subdomain as "www", you will want your subdomain to be called "in".
