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

    Not sure what you are saying or asking

    All 2016 office versions support exchange, if that's what you refer to

    In other words, I would like to use *** Email address is removed for privacy *** instead of *** Email address is removed for privacy ***.

    Not too sure if you have seen the Microsoft web page for office 365 for business and home. Home does not have anything about office 365 hosted email listed, neither does it have anything about email or domain. The business package does have reference of email.

    Microsoft NEED to remove outlook and make the office the same as home and office

    All 365/2016 versions support Exchange, 2013 Home versions do not

    365/2016 does not support Ex2007, but 2013 does

    Are you saying Outlook does not start/run on a specific PC, and was any other OL version previously configured on this PC?

    The answer as I understand it is this:   A personal domain name is not a supported option for O365 Home Premium.   If you want to leverage your own domain, you will need to sign up for O365 Small Business. 

    This is my understanding.   By comparison to Google Apps, I believe they support it but I think you need to be paying $50 per user, so depending on your user counts...O365 Small business is the same cost per user. 

    Personally, I'm grandfathered in on Google Apps with the free setup for 10 users or less.   I would not be able to sign up for it today but I'm supported for now with my 6 users on my personal domain for free.  

    I'd like to switch to O365 as I don't get much use out of the Google Apps and would prefer MS Office and OneNote integration, but can't justify paying 6x$50.

    Good luck.  I would like to be corrected if O365 Home is different than I understand.   Clark

    I have two domain names that work from home through Outlook on Office 365 Home, very well I might add. Also on my laptop and tablet, all syncing nicely through IMAP.

    However, on another server installation with Microsoft Exchange and a LAN domain it will not work.  It will not even start up in order to set up email accounts.  Spent a morning of frustration talking to various dialects around the world but never getting an answer, Just music.  Microsoft needs to localise for support.  It's o.k.going around the world but we the customer need to understand and to be able to hear the instruction from the techies.

    Rant over...

    I agree that MS could provide more information regarding domain support for non business office 365 subscriptions but also like with any product or service research is required.

    If domain support is one of your main requirements a quick on the internet does provide a lot of results regarding the non domain support for non business. 

    like when buying a car there are many non standard features and walking into a show room and assuming what you see is what you get is another thing.

    I do not see MS adding domain support or you will get a lot of business subscribers jumping ship getting 5 office licenses and email. The future to provide a service + subscription model, the office 365 home is a damn good package 5 office device licenses plus more for less than $50 a year.

    Can you not just add an alias to your outlook.com account and fwd all mail to outlook.com? So then you can email out using your own domain and receive email via your domain. Calendar, Contacts etc will all be kept in outlook.com and it can be sync to outlook the app. I do not understand why this is not a workaround as your still can send and receive via your own domain?
