Google App Engine and Dedicated IP

[yaoye]

Hi, guys,

Would it be possible to bind a dedicated IP to my GAE-based site? I
have a pr-4 site, and I wanna port it to GAE, but I'm worried about
losing its ranking in Google for IP changing.

All suggestions are welcome!

Thanks a lot.

No this is not possible, for many reasons.

A static IP would lose much of the advantage of AppEngine.

You could if you want proxy the site though the server with the static
IP, but seems kinda silly.

Thanks, I'll try to port the site to GAE.

Hi yaoye,

Although it's not possible to bind a static IP to an App Engine app (or to route an individual IP address across the internet in general), no search engine - including Google - is likley to penalize you for your IP address changing. Search engines generally only care about your DNS name and the responses they get over HTTP.

Hi Nick, 

Is the set or bundle of IP addresses assigned to an App stable at all?  

Any progress in having static IP to make calls from a GAE app?  

Thanks, 

Alok

Hi Alok,

The IP addresses for both incoming and outgoing requests are shared amongst all apps. We have no plans to offer static IPs except insofar as will be necessary for SSL on incoming requests. You should not rely on IP addresses for authentication.
