Stuck bringing my own domain to my app engine

[Rossco]

Hi, looks like I've made a mistake with the process of using my own domain with my app engine site. 

1) I purchased a domain name (mydomain.com) through www.swishconnect.com.au

2) I created some applications App Engine applications

3) I've signed up for Google Apps

4) Now I would like to use mydomain.com to access one of the app engine site. 

I thought I could just arrange redirection of traffic via GAE?

From what I've read I now need to purchase hosting through www.swishconnect.com.au to redirect traffic. Bummer.

What options do I have that do not involve purchasing hosting as well?

Hi,

after step 3, you need to prove ownership of your custom domain in the
Google apps dashboard. the configuration for a custom domain to
redirect to your GAE application is made in the google apps dashboard.

Hope this helps!

I find this entire process works much better from the Google Apps
control pannel. Personally, I've never got a domain to work correctly
doing this from the App Engine Dashboard.

Thanks, but the question was more around how to verify ownership. Do I really need to purchase a hosting solution to add the TXT record I was given, only to have my website hosted with GAE?

If so, do I need to maintain the hosted solution? Or do I just purchase it for 1 year then let it expire?

Are there any other options to prove I own the domain that do not involve purchasing hosting??

You need to host DNS somewhere no matter what you do.  Google doesn't do that for you.

You don't need to purchase any kind of web hosting plan.  You just need to put the TXT record in your DNS servers.
