Do I need my own domain with Google App Engine?

Question

My application is to use the Google App Engine to provide an embarrassingly parallel computation (and to serve the results to www-browsers). I've been through the Google App Engine "getting started" tutorial but I'm not sure if I need to register my own domain. Do I?

Answer 1

Nope. You can get at your app using the URL <<your-app-id>>.appspot.com . If you later want to wire that up to a separate domain that you own, you can do that, too.
