GAE Projects

Now click on the project on which you would like to add or point your custom domain name. After clicking on your GAE project you will see the overview of your project or site.
After that click on App Engine from the left sidebar. You can see the screenshot given below.

Click on App Engine

After clicking on App Engine, click on Settings from the left sidebar.

Go to Settings

In the settings menu you can setup your custom registered domain name. But you will have to verify your ownership of that domain name.

Add your domain name

Just add your domain name and click on verify. After verifying your domain name you can choose that domain name in your Google App Engine in the second step.
You can host your App Engine project on a sub-domain. Just add the domain you want to point to your App Engine project.
After adding your domain name you have to create a CNAME record. To create a CNAME record sign in to your Domain registrar account, than go to settings > DNS System and after that add a CNAME record with host or alias as your desired sub-domain prefix (for eg. www) and canonical name or point to as ghs.googlehosted.com.

If you want the SSL support than you have to register for a Google Apps account. But if you don't need any SSL support than it will be perfect for you.

Note: It can take sometimes for the DNS changes to take affect. Make sure you have created everything correct. You would also like to read Some Interesting Google Tricks.
