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

    What is that that forces you to purchase the O365 instead of Office 2016 which would last for several years?

    I had the subscription for 1 year. However I realized that my family does not utilize that at all.

    So, after that, I have purchased 2 copies of Office 2016 for a pretty good price and then I have one license that I use on my work machine. I do not think I would have a problem with using Office 2010 either, for example.

    I do it for the cloud storage. Same price as Dropbox, O365 is the bonus.

    Yes but we pay for the subscription too ... €99 per year here for Office365 Home Premium. It is not free!

    No, it's a stupid decision by Microsoft, because they will loose our business as we take it elsewhere, where those features are offered. And the overheads for providing DNS and MX services for domain names is negligible, so even if they charged an extra

    fee for it, it would be profitable.

    I think there are plenty of businesses around that pay 365 Business subscription per person without even looking at the monthly bill. There are enough countries where 10 euros will not even buy you a dinner. These are they are after, not the home users peanuts. 

    I do not mean to be rude. I am trying to think here the way MS thinks. So, if your business cannot pay the subscription per month, then they are not interested in you. It is a different scale that they are looking for. They do not mind loosing me as a home user at all.
