How to host (almost all) html sites on Google App Engine

Google provides 500MB storage and 5 million page views a month for free. Did you know you can host html pages on it?

• Just install Python 2.5 and Google App Engine
• Try Hello World app (Really Easy)
• Modify app.yaml like the following

  
  application: twk
  version: 1
  runtime: python
  api_version: 1
  
  handlers:
  
  - url: (.*)/
    static_files: htdocs\1/index.html
    upload: htdocs(.*)/index.html
  
  - url: /(.*\.py)
    script: \1
  
  - url: /favicon.ico
    static_files: htdocs/favicon.ico
    upload: htdocs/favicon.ico
    mime_type: image/x-icon
  
  - url: /(.*)
    static_files: htdocs/\1
    upload: htdocs/(.*)
  

• mkdir htdocs directory under your app directory
• Copy your html, images and other files under the htdoc directory.
• Update your app with appcfg.py
