Question about your ToS

[Matt Hill]

On your ToS it says "You may not develop multiple Applications to
simulate or act as a single Application or otherwise access the
Service in a manner intended to avoid incurring fees.".

If I wanted to have separate apps for my blog, forums etc. but host
them under individual sub-domains, is this acceptable or not?

I'm not sure. But I think you can Enable Billing. "Money" is "King" ;)

I am interested in "Dedicated IP" or move my app to another server
after Enable Billing. Because very many apps request to Twitter API
and make GAE server slow :(
Before, my app received a deluge of complaints about 500 status. But,
after Twitter blocked IP address of GAE server, my app very fast
although more than requests was in the past.

That should be fine. As long as you don't use them to circumvent quota. They are legitimately different applications: a blogging application, a forum app, etc.

If you're using different apps for different purposes, it's fine and we won't shut you down. This clause of the ToS is very confusing to our developers and every time I've responded, it's fired off a series of "what if ... " responses. Just trust us on this, we keep this clause in for insurance against spammers and resource dodgers.  I'll paraphrase the Supreme Court's on the first amendment: "We'll know it when we see it".

I definitely won't use them to circumvent quota, but what if the
traffic onto the site does get to a point where each app is serving up
resources in excess of what the free quota would be if it were a
single app?

Then you shouldn't worry about it. The great thing about the
pornography rule ("they know it if they see it") is that 99.99% of the
time you know it too. It's pretty obvious to everyone when you're
trying to cheat the system. When you're not trying to cheat the
system - that's obvious too.
