What do you mean by lack of support for naked domains? You can host your AppEngine app at yourdomain.com via Google Apps, as described here: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/domain.html

I haven't heard of any limitations on using custom domains for commercial use, cf. http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_threa...




> Due to recent changes, App Engine no longer supports mapping your app to a naked domain. If your domain registrar supports URL redirects, you can redirect from http://yourdomain.com to e.g http://www.yourdomain.com or http://appid.yourdomain.com.

(For non-commercial use this limitation may be more acceptable, but if you are seriously launching a commercial service, you probably want to freely choose your domain.)
