title: Custom Domain with Google App Engine now that Google Apps is not free anymore
body: <p>First I have to apologize if it seems like I am asking a question that has been asked before, but I looked at the Google App Engine documentation and the questions and answers here, and I am finding a lot of inconsistencies. </p>
  
  <p>So my question is: I signed up for a new Google account in August 2013 specifically for developing an app for Google App Engine. I would like to use a custom domain with my app. In the documentation it says that I need to sign up for Google Apps in order to do this. It also says that I can sign up for a free account for 1 person. But it looks like this is not possible anymore since December 2012. I've seen several answers on this here, but they seem outdated as well. </p>
  
  <p>So do I really have to pay $50/year for Google Apps, a service that I really don't need, just to use a custom domain with my Google App Engine App?</p>
