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

    Isn't it free for O365 users ? I didn't have to pay anything, but I had my own domain to use, did not order a new one.

    From mhat I have seen and read here, custom domains are included with O365 small business and higher but not home subscriptions.

    This is US only.  Took me through the process of signup and failed on payment because I have a UK account.

    When will it be released in the UK?

    Absolutely this.

    I too set up a unique email address per organisation that I deal with.

    In conjunction with a password manager this is a good security benefit, and also helps identify spam sources.

    I've set up wildcard mail forwarding from my domain to webmail but this has two limitations:

    Firstly outgoing address is that of the webmail provider.

    Secondly there is no way in webmail to disable any of the aliases should they start delivering spam.

    Like you I don't need/want the hassle of maintaining a family mail server.

    Microsoft will give us custom domains. Finally!

    Outlook Premium

    Interesting but limited to five personal email addresess.  I actually want to to be able to create tens or even hundreds of email aliases, all on the same inbox.  I only need a few mailboxes as befits my family, but in this day of cyber attacks on companies holding our data, or companines sharing our data, I want to give each one of them an unique address that I can change or delete on a whim.  I've done this in the past when I hosted my domain on my home internet, but I really don't want to get bacj in to do that again.  

    I'm looking for a reliable email provided (IMAP/POP3/Web + backups + well maintained security + SPF/DomainKeys) where I can host my own personal domain(s) and manage any number of email aliases.  Deleting an alias should prevent message delivery at the SMTP level and not be something that happens as a filtering step post delivery/acceptance of the message.

    Reading this thread, it looks to me like Microsoft aren't even thinking about this or consider the market too small to bother with.
