That depends on the specifics of the application and the traffic it receives. Perhaps you can tell us more about the application?

There are a subset of applications that App Engine is perfectly suited for at this specific point in time, but it is tough to give you an answer without more information.

Basically it is similar to a simple accounting system. Thanks.

No, you don't.

That will save some money. I only need to pay when my website successful enough so the usage is higher than the free quota. Hmm... cool...
