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

    364 Home supports any mail domain, for outlook, that provides the required mail protocol, pop, or Imap settings

    4 pages of discussions, a m a z i n g !

    To summarize:

    • Office 365 Home does not support custom domains
    • If you have registered your domain before with domains.live, you can still access email but cannot manage (add, remove, etc.) users

    so much for being now a service company

    IMHO, the reason for that is that MS gets the revenues from the businesses, not home users and that's why they pretty much don't care about Office 365 Home. You get the minimum out of the box and then you are on your own.

    An option: go back to your domain provider, open email accounts there (most of the time thre are enough free ones for the family use) and forward all mail to your [non-domain] outlook.com email account. You can also add your domain provider registered email to outlook.com to be able to send from outlook.com directly.

    Hi MartiBuukarl,

    Maybe you should get in touch with 'Misty' and ask her how you could host your email domain and refer her to this thread.

    You'll never know, maybe you found a solution for us and we are 'misunderstanding' how it all works and we could do it after all ... false hopes?

    I find this whole discussion disturbing.  Where is MSFT on this question?  I JUST was on a chat with Office 365 sales and they LIED to me, saying I could absolutely host my email domain in Office 365 Home and for no additional charge!  I was very specific in my question and all I got in return from "Misty" was "of course" and smiley faces.  I could have purchased a subscription under false pretensions if I hadn't gone out and done my own research.

    MICROSOFT, WHERE ARE YOU?  A straight-forward "no, we don't support it and don't plan on supporting it, and MSFT thinks anyone who has a personal domain is stupid" would at least be an answer.  Quit hiding from your customers!

    You can add any mail account (Domain) you like to Outlook, contained in the 365 suite, if that mail provider supports pop or IMAP mail

    You may have to manually add/configure the mail account settings
