Problem adding my own domain , without right to change Cname record

[Possum]

Hi, guys,
maybe it's not the right place to ask this, but I think there must be
someone have the same problem with me :

I register a domain name with an Australia company due to the cheap Au
$, but late find that I can't change any DNS info like CNAME by
myself . and it seems a must that if I want to map my app engine
application to my domain name . now what can I do ?

now the only thing I can change is that under a "domain manager" I can
change the domain name server . it shows a Primary name server and a
secondary name server 's name and it's IP address . this company does
have a DNShosting serivce but compare to the price of domain
name ,it's price is rediculous. I kind of think this is a con. for I
know most domain register give us full access to manage the dns info
of the name .

I am new to domain name (this might be the second domain name for me).
I just wondering ,is it possible that I use some "free dns service"
that can ensure me to have full acess to all my dns info like cname?
so that I can do the veryfication work for google app engine? and
after I verified it , I change it back (if that free service is not
reliable) to my name register. and everything will keep all right ?

is there any service like this? and do you think there are problems to
do this?or what do you guys suggest?

first you need to apply for google apps

then, in the gae admin page, set your subdomain and domain

then ,chname your sub domain to ghs.google.com

I've used dnsmadeeasy.com for a while and like the service. It's not
free, but at $15/year (almost $1/mo), it's very cheap and lets you
manage all the DNS settings you mention. There's also some valuable
add-ons for a little extra, like mail backup in case your mail port
goes down, and failovers.

There are some free DNS managers:
FreeDNS and see http://hostingfu.com/free-dns

I don't use them so can't comment, but google around for reviews.

After you get a DNS service, point the domain name server record at
your domain name registrar to your new DNS servers. Then modify CNAME
like in the Google Apps docs.

Good luck,
Bill
