Use of own domain name with Office 365 Home/Premium

I cannot seem to find out whether I can add my own private domain, i.e. not a business user, but I own a personalised domain, with Office 365 Home Premium.

In other words, I would like to use ******@mydomain.com instead of ******@outlook.com.

I know you can do this with Office 365 for Business, but need to know whether this can be done with Home Premium.

Thanks

Chris

    If you cannot/do not wish to continue paying for your existing mail hosting service, then there are 365 suppliers with whom you can transfer your hosting service to, and the domain registration, and in the purchase of 365 from them you are then able to use your domain address (I'm unsure as to whether this option is available for Home version, it certainly is for 365 business)

    I have tried phoning ms about using my own domain a few times and , until I read this message board, had thought the ms call centre had serious staffing issues as they would not back up claims back in an email.Now I have a better understanding of why they may have acted in a manner that I had thought showed a total contempt for their employer.

    My domain was for a company but now I retain it simply as a private domain for myself and my partner. I had planned closing down my company website as my old website as it is no longer used and using the money to have office 365. I can't pay for my existing email host plus Office 365.

    While for my own private use, I was keen to demonstrate to the local government agency I now work for how useful Office 365 could be so that we can better integrate and share information with other agencies and contractor's, assuming legal requirements could be met. I have all but given up.

    Its all quite straightforward to use your own domain name, it simply requires you to use an appropriate mail provider/server in conjunction with that domain, and its added like any other mail account

    Still no news from MS relating this issue? Find it hard to believe that no one @ MS has read this thread and cannot find someone who can give us a solution for this problem. MS should be ashamed!

    Palcouks' replies for the past year and a half have been completely unresponsive to the original post or the issue discussed. I wouldn't look to his replies for answers.

    I sometimes wonder if it's a bot posting reply
