Redirect or Point your Google App Engine to your naked domain

By -



Before I found this straight-forward solution, I had been trouble-shooting my Google App Engine for 3 weeks because I cannot point my application site to my naked domain (http://vargas.im).

You have a naked domain problem when your website cannot work without a www in front. So if you have mydomain.com as your domain, it can only be opened only by entering www.mydomain.com.

When someone enters only mydomain.com (notice the missing www in front) the error is shown.

Although there are a lot of articles on the web on how to fix this, these guides are not applicable for Google Apps anymore.  Google has restricted this feature and the only way to do it was to put an A record in your DNS settings, which needs an IP address and not an alias.

Google cannot give us a specific IP address because they host their apps in different servers and it is difficult to maintain these service by hard-coded IP address.

Fortunately, I found an IP address that you can assign to your A record and it will redirect to the same domain with a www in front.

Just go to your domain hosting's admin page and look for the link where you can change your DNS Settings.

Set your "naked domain" (mydomain.com not www.mydomain.com) and point it to 174.129.25.170 and use A as its Record Type.

For some domain hosting provider, leaving the name empty or putting a @ will do as it automatically interprets it a naked domain.







After updating,  have a tea break, wait for a few minutes, then test your website by typing your naked domain on your web browser.

    The rotational axis words are allowed, however it is higher to omit them. If rotational axis words are used, the numbers have to be the same as the present place numbers so that the rotational axes do not transfer. The linear axis words are elective, except that at least of|no less than} considered one of them have to be used. For linear movement Interactive Cat Toy at feed price , program G1 X~ Y~ Z~ A~ B~ C~, where all of the axis words are elective, except that at least of|no less than} one have to be used. This will produce co-ordinated linear movement to the vacation spot level at the present feed price .

I just attended a Microsoft seminar held at NTUC Centre at Marina Bay. They talked about the new Visual Studio 2012 and a bit of Windows 8. Visual Studio 2012 is not just an IDE. It’s an integrated tool that helps you throughout the Application Lifecycle. You can even create storyboard! One of the most interesting things about this product is the Code Analysis, Unit Testing and Load Testing feature. Take a look of their very cool presentation slide.

3D Printing : a new kind of piracy?

I just watched a video on YouTube showing how to physically copy and reproduce a wrench (the tool that is used by plumbers like Super Mario ) by just using a 3D printer.  This paradigm-shifting technology triggered a lot of interest from hobbyist, home makers, and even hackers.  It will enable you to  reproduce anything you want; from bolts and nuts, to chess pieces and toy parts (imagine not having to worry about losing your Lego parts?). In the very near future, this technology, just like our pc, this will be available in each individual's home. This might help speed up our technological innovations and evolution.  Creating prototypes of your inventions can now easily be done at the comfort of your "home lab" a.k.a. garage or basement. While 3D printer in each home looks promising, some people are wary of its effect.  What will happen to our manufacturing industry? Will they still survive if everyone can create their own phone casing or clothes ha

All I wanted was a Black Flickr

Two weeks ago, I created a 500px account.  I felt that this website is the next big thing when it comes to photo sharing. I uploaded some of my old photos and to be honest, I was impressed by its take-up and visibility rate when a couple of strangers commented on my sets.  That means those images that I just uploaded were highly visible to the public.  500px' home page highlights those photos that were recently uploaded. So far so good. Yesterday, I went to Singapore Botanic Garden and when I got home I was so excited to upload all my new photos.  Unfortunately, I reached its 10-photos-per-week limit. I was a bit disappointed by the limit they imposed but then, it's a free service, beggars can't be choosers.   The only way to remove this limit is to be an "Awesome" user by paying $49.95 per year. I then compared it's price with Flickr.  It's surprising to know that my old photo-sharing service with lots of subscribers is way cheaper than 500px.  Fl
