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
Processes in Microsoft 365 for setting up Office apps, redeeming product keys, and activating licenses.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
All current 365 versions support personal Domains, as to how you set the account up in MS Outlook depends as to whether in purchasing the Domain name you also subscribed to the mail service
Whilst thanking you for your tip, when I started this thread it was all about Microsoft not providing this simple and common feature to home users.
This is definitely a deal breaker for me, as I was looking into Office365, and feeling that it looks a pretty good deal (especially if you factor in the 1TB storage).
Just out of interest, have you seen Microsoft's Article describing the (laborious) process of Migrating from Home to Business Edition? https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/Upgrade-Office-365-for-home-to-a-business-subscription-9322ffb8-a35d-4407-8ebe-ed6ea0859b9f
It is far from straight forward, and suggests that providing Domain Support within the Home Edition is not simply a matter of "switching" on the additional functionality (as I imagined it would be). The Home infrastructure appears to be completely separate to the Business offering.
My guess is that providing Domain Functionality may require a complete overhaul of the Home Edition, and this is the reason Microsoft is not offering a response.
In many respects, they would be better off providing a 5-User Version of the Business platform for Home / Business use at a more reasonable charge (a bit like they have done with Windows Server Essentials).
You can already port port a domain name to GoDaddy, to obtain an EX mail account
Whilst thanking you for your tip, when I started this thread it was all about Microsoft not providing this simple and common feature to home users. If you read the thread you will see that I am already using something similar to what you are doing, but I need to continue using Google Apps (the free one from a long time ago) rather than switching everything on MS.
There are ways of achieving the same result, so why don't Microsoft just give it to us - that was the point of this thread :)
