I have a registered domain name from GoDaddy.com I need to point my Google app engine application to use this domain name for serving static pages. How do I do that?
Instructions on using a custom domain with an App Engine application can be found here.

I bought a domain from GoDaddy.com and I've been trying to connect that as a custom domain to my app engine project.
My project is a static website made in python using the flask framework. I currently have the stock url provided but I want to connect a custom domain purchased from GoDaddy. I updated the records under manage DNS settings on GoDaddy with the ones provided when I mapped my domain in the App Engine settings. I followed this tutorial on Google Cloud documentation.
What am I doing wrong? The site shows up as can't be found when I try to access it through the custom domain.
How to restrict a website running under App Engine to be accessible from enterprise corporate network only?
You need to use App Engine Firewall.
In this case, you have to add a firewall rule for the mentioned network. Once you have created that, you can edit the default rule to deny access from other IP's.
If your website communicates with other apps or services in App Engine, you have to consider adding the following rules.
Google offers the Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy for AppEngine and it's free. The only gotcha is that your users will need to fall into one of these categories:
Google account
Service account
Google group
G Suite domain
Cloud Identity domain

I have purchased my own domain name, and I have created an App Engine app. I'd like to configure GAE so that the app can be served off the domain name that I own.
It appears as though I must create a Google Apps account for that domain in order to host the GAE app on that domain. This costs $50 per year, which I'd rather not pay.
Is there any free way to host a GAE app on my domain name?
Using a Custom Domain
When you create an application with Google App Engine, the app is
automatically served on the appspot.com domain at
your-app-ID.appspot.com. However, it's often desirable to serve your
app at a custom domain that you own (example.com), at specific
subdomains of that domain (app.example.com), or at any or all
(*.example.com) subdomains of that domain.
It's easy to do this with App Engine. First, of course, you must
acquire a domain through a domain registrar. Once you have a domain,
customizing your app to use your domain or subdomain involves three
steps:
Prove to Google that you control the domain.
Configure Google servers to recognize the domain.
Update the DNS records at your domain registrar to point to Google servers.
The entire process can typically be completed in a few minutes at your
computer.

It's not possible, you need a Google Apps account. But I think it's possible to create a free account with just one user (admin).
I want to register a website and want to host the same on google app engine. I dont want any sub-domain like .appspot.com.
I read a lot about GAE but I think I ended up with confusion.
Suppose the domain is: www.mydomain.com. Can I use google app engine without any sub-domain? And then will I be eligible for GAE free services?
Google App Engine no longer supports mapping your app to a naked domain. If your domain registrar supports URL redirects, you can redirect from http://yourdomain.com to your app, which can be served from domains like http://www.yourdomain.com or http://appid.yourdomain.com.

If you have a google app engine application you want to have on a certain domain for this application, you control this domain but if this domain is used already used for e-mail (not on Google Business Apps), does this mean you have to switch your e-mail to Google Business Apps in order to have this domain for your google app engine application?
As far as I know you have to add the domain to google apps, but you don't have to use google mail.
