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

    You can do this in outlook.com here: https://premium.outlook.com It's an additional fee and I tried it for a wile then moved it back to my hosting provider since it's just an IMAP email like gmail. If it were a Home/Premium Exchange account it would be worth the extra money but not just as another IMAP account. Hope this helped.

    Hi,

    I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing:

    "custom domain" or "personalised email address" as MS calls it does NOT have a fee. It's included free of charge for office 365 - subscribers.

    (Of course you need a domain, registered via GoDaddy, which will cost you. Also note that it's still beta and might not be available to you as they say in their FAQ.)

    Also it does NOT give you an additional email account. Neither an IMAP-Box nor an additional Exchange-box: it just gives you the option to use your existing Office 365 email (which IS infact a derivate of Exchange) with your custom domain.

    And yes: it works splendidly.

    I am looking to do the same thing as you so hoping we can here an answer from someone.

    This was answered in depth over the last few pages.

    The requirement is that a domain needs to be registered via GoDaddy to be used within outlook.com / Office 365 outlook-account.

    I explained a few pages back how to use GoDaddys name servers to create a record for your domains even without the domain being registered via GoDaddy, but that is only a temporary solution because GoDaddy will deactivate it after a while (this is only intended to be used to move domains, not as a permanent production use case).

    So for proper use you will have to move your domain over to GoDaddy.

    There's no way around this.

    After that just follow the FAQ. 

    It's all really straightforward.
