Use of own domain name with Office 365 Home/Premium

I have had the same struggle with Microsoft Office Support as everyone else.  After thinking about it I might have a solution but would want the rest of you to let me know whether or not this solution actually works . . .

Office 365 Business integrates with your personal Domain through GoDaddy.  So, what would prevent us from using GoDaddy to activate our Domain, create emails for each of our family members in that domain and then let them use one of the five licenses available in Office 365 Home to access Outlook with their new DNS email address?

If you wanted to manage the domain through Office 365, you would have to still purchase one license of Office 365 Business, but you could then use that for yourself and keep the Office 365 Home for up to 5 family members.

Sounds plausible so I am curious what you all think.

Thanks for the tip, I just signed up too.  I used a domain I already had registered with GoDaddy and it just asked for my GoDaddy login details during the outlook.com premium setup process.

I got signed up for Outlook Premium a while back, it said it was US only but I was never asked to pay anything. And based on reports it was when you had to pay it seems the issue with US only occurred.

I believe the reason I did not have to pay was

1. I already own a domain I use, so I did not sign up for a new one with MS/Godaddy
2. I have a O365 personal subscription.

Originally, when I started this post around 3 years ago it was about Microsoft giving home users with a paid Office365 Home subscription, the possibility of using a family domain name, which is so common nowadays, for the email address, rather than outlook.com or another MS variant.  We are already paying for a service, so why make us pay more?

I do not want an Office365 Enterprise subscription or even the cheaper Business subscription.  I am a home user.  I use the Enterprise and Business subscriptions in my workplace, so I know how they work.

Now the Outlook Premium might be tempting for an extra odd $20 per year, but somewhere I read that it is only available for US customers.  Is this correct?  I live in Malta (EU).

Thanks

I ended up signing up  with an E3 enterprise account.

Hello,

You get Exchange Online with Business Essentials and Business Premium (which are a tad cheaper than the Enterprise Plans). Business Essentials doesn't include the Office Desktop Apps, whereas the Premium Version does.
