Naked domains not allowed

I just, this weekend, moved the website it made for Jodie and I over to Google App Engine.


I am thrilled because it took me a lot of brain power - getting familiar with the python programming language, figuring out the Google app engine sdk, learning the eclipse programming platform.I am thrilled because it took me a lot of brain power - getting familiar with the python programming language, figuring out the Google app engine sdk, learning the eclipse programming platform and Django templating. This training wheels site was a huge help.

Anyway, I can now create and host customized websites on Google for free!

Anyway, now I am trying to get wittren.com to go directly to my new site. The terminology they use for this - 'naked domains' - made me laugh:

Google App Engine General Questions - Google App Engine - Google Code: "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 instructions on how to configure a redirect for your Google Apps domain, please see the Google Apps FAQ on URL forwarding (redirection)."
