Use of own domain name with Office 365 Home/Premium

Anonymous

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

    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

    Chris

    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.

    Regards, Stephen
