I have an app hosted on Google Appengine and I’m using a domain of my own. Even after editing the DNS zone (about 5 days ago) Naked Domain is not redirected to www.

Here are the settings in Register.br.

Nome                      Tipo          Dados
example.com.br               A      216.239.32.21
example.com.br               A      216.239.34.21
example.com.br               A      216.239.36.21
example.com.br               A      216.239.38.21
www.example.com.br       CNAME      ghs.googlehosted.com

Here are the settings in Google Apps:

Primary Domain
Redirect the naked domain http://example.com.br to http://www.example.com.br

I added the following Ipv6 values and now Naked Domain redirect works:

Nome                 Tipo     Dados
example.com.br       AAAA     2001:4860:4802:32:0:0:0:15
example.com.br       AAAA     2001:4860:4802:34:0:0:0:15
example.com.br       AAAA     2001:4860:4802:36:0:0:0:15
example.com.br       AAAA     2001:4860:4802:38:0:0:0:15

I don’t know if it’s because the BR record takes too long to update DNS values or if Ipv6 values were really needed.

Ipv6 values were found in this article of Google Apps Support.

Try to use @ (or leave blank) the Name field setting (where you are using example.com.br) for all 4 records A pointing to Google ips. Also, if you haven’t already, enable the configuration of Naked Domain in the Google Apps admin panel (more information in English).

At least that’s what I did to enable the functionality using my Godaddy.

I’ve done it and it didn’t work.

With @ or leaving blank? According to that blog for registration.br should be left blank.

White space. The.BR Registry system does not accept @.

Well, just as a disincarnate, as I found several references on the subject (another), you could follow this exact procedure again with the four fields A blank, the CNAME with www pointing to ghs.googlehosted.com, and the Naked Domain registered in the Google console? Do you have any problems with passing your real domain too?

Another point I forgot to mention, obviously my app in the App Engine have a setting pointing to www (more information in English), I believe this is already configured correctly for you.

I did all this. Now it worked. I think it was because I redirected by adding the AAAA values of Ipv6.

@Magritte very doubtful (my domain is not using Ipv6 and everything works), but good that solved :).

The @ that appears in DNS settings is automatically added by the Registry.br DNS editor, so just leave blank that that entry refers to Naked Domain. The propagation time of changes in the Registry’s own DNS is 24 hours.

Using a custom domain

When you create an app with Google App Engine, the app is automatically served in the domain appspot.com in seu-app-ID.appspot.com. However, it is often desirable to serve your application on a custom domain you own (example.com), in specific subdomains of that domain (app.example.com), or in any or all of the (* .example.com) subdomains that domain. Second https://developers.google.com/

It’s easy to do that with the App Engine. First, of course, you must acquire a domain through a domain registration. 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.
Set up Google servers to recognize the domain.
Update DNS records in the domain registrar to point to Google servers.

The entire process can normally be completed in few minutes on your computer.

Note that the instructions on this page are for apps App Engine that use a normal HTTP connection and are not served through Google Apps. Here are some related procedures that require different instructions:

To serve your Google App Engine app through Google Apps, read about the App Engine in the Google Apps help center.
To assign an additional domain to your Google Apps services, read about the custom domains in the Google Apps help center.
To add Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) (i.e., an HTTPS address) to your Google App Engine app, you must use the SSL service provided with Google Apps. You will find information and instructions in SSL for a custom domain.
