Hi, I appreciate help on following:

I have a domain registered with Google domains; let's say example.comSince I wanted to create my own site, I went to Google Domains and updated custom domain to point to BlueHost name server. That worked and site is up and running.

With AppEngine, I have an application called xyz.appspot.com
I like to setup AppEngine custom domain and map xyz.appspot.com to subdomain like silver.example.com 

Do I just setup AppEngine custom domain like silver.example.com?
Do I have to go to Google Domain and change DNS settings there or do I have to change some settings on other hosting (BlueHost)??

THANKS

Follow these steps on adding a custom domain for your application.

In short:
 - add the silver.example.com domain to GAE panel
 - verify that you indeed own it
 - set a CNAME record via your nameservers to point the "silver" subdomain to "ghs.googlehosted.com"

and that's it...

Hello,

Thank you so much for responding. Does setup shown in attached image look right? Also, 24 hours wait. Right?

THANKS SOOOO MUCH

Hello,

You've certainly added the custom domain correctly inside App Engine settings in the console. However, your screenshot would suggest that you've added the CNAME record inside Google Domains. As you've indicated earlier that your nameservers are pointing to bluehost, you'll need to create the CNAME record there.

I hope it helps. Cheers!
