Google app engine has given me a default domain name(https://myproject-name.uc.r.appspot.com/). How to add my purchased domain instead of this domain name?

You need to use a custom domain. To use a custom domain, map the domain to your app, then update your DNS records. You can map a naked domain, such as example.com or a subdomain, such as subdomain.example.com. You can also use wildcards to map subdomains.
Something to keep in mind is that if you do not have a domain, you must purchase one and in case you are using a Load Balancer to route your traffic to your App Engine, it is recommended to map your custom domain to the LB instead the directly to your App.
At this link you can find the necessaries steps to map your custom domain to your app.

I have an application hosted by Google Appengine and I need to serve it using custom domain. Is it possible to use custom domains without owner verification?
In order for a custom domain to serve your GAE app, Google must verify that you are indeed an owner of the domain (DNS entries often need to be added, etc.)
If you DNS provider can do a 301/302 HTTP redirect, you can set it up to redirect to your app's underlying app_id.appspot.com URL, but the user would be seeing it after the first page load in the browser address bar.
Without validation though, you won't be able to host a site directly.
Our app is hosted on app engine; 'myapp.appspot.com'.
It is much like blogger, where each user is given a subdomain.
So a user Foo has 'foo.myapp.appspot.com'
Now we want that our users should be allowed to add a custom domain to their website.
For instance,
www.foo.com in place of foo.myapp.appspot.com.
To achieve the same, we need to add zones and CNAME records to the DNS.
www.foo.com | CNAME | foo.myapp.appspot.com
Now, this doesn't work on app engine because Google doesn't allow creating zones and records programaticaly. A user can only connect a custom domain if the the domain is verified first.
So, is there any way in which we can programatically add zones/records? Or can you please suggest some other way to achieve this workflow?
Thanks.
I have added two custom domains to Google Developers Console for a Google App Project. One, a naked domain with A and AAA records set on the third party DNS manager as specified by Google. Two, a www domain with a Cname record set on the third party DNS manager, as specified by Google.
The www is serving, but the naked domain is not! The A records ip addresses timeout on my local machine but I get results when using http://tools.pingdom.com/ping/
Obviously you can use more than one custom domain but is there something I'm missing here?
Update: custom naked domain mapping is now supported directly in GAE, see How to use Google app engine with my own naked domain (not subdomain)?.
[Old answer follows]
If it's acceptable for you to use custom domains through Google Apps then you can use the Google Admin console to:
map your naked domain to Google Apps
redirect the naked domain to a certain (sub)domain of your choice
I find several advantages of going this way:
you can change the naked domain redirect without any change in the
GAE apps domain configs
the direct domain mapping of GAE apps (without using Google Apps) is
still very young, documentation is far from exhaustive
you can use SSL with your custom domains, according to the docs:
"To add Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption (i.e., an HTTPS
address) to your App Engine app, you must use the SSL service
provided with Google Apps".
i want to change to a custom domain for my google app engine website.
I know already that i need to setup my records to CNAME at my domain provider for my already registered domain,
but i cannot find at the google app engine website where i can add a domain alias for my app.
thanks in advance!
Go to your google cloud account, click on your project, then go to compute, then app engine, then settings, then custom domains, then click 'add a custom domain', and here is where you can add an alias or subdomain to a domain you have already verified.
I want to use Google App Engine custom domain ssl.
I have already a domain(DomainA) which use App Engigne SSL for an application id.
CNAME setting of the domain is "ghs-svc-https-cXX.ghs-ssl.googlehosted.com"(XX is 2 digit number), and working well.
Now I want to use App Engine SSL for another domain(DomainB) for another application id.
Is the CNAME setting of DomainA and DomainB same?
I want to use SNI+VIP for both domain.
Or 2 digit number of CNAME setting is different per domain?
I may be able to check the CNAME setting of the DomainB on Google Apps SSL setting page,
but I cannot select VIP for DomainB because I don't pass the first checkout yet.
You must have a separate VIP for each domain name.
