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

    I get - too bad

    Sorry, this offer is for new customers only.

    Of course that is wrong.

    It's a general feature available to any and all Office 365 personal or Office 365 home users.

    In the beginning it was in beta and limited to a limited sub-group of users, but looking at the FAQ this restriction is not mentioned any more, so it is probably productively available for everyone now.

    Follow the FAQ and you will find it. I have a european contract myself and it worked nicely since last fall.

    Thank you very much. Looks new to me.

    If I already have an office 365 home subscription and from Europe - its not clear exactly what to do, but I will investigate.

    My domain cannot be transferred to GoDaddy. But I've parked it on their DNS servers starting November, 2018. I've mentioned about my scenario in one of my November's or December post. Since that time I've been using it for integration with my Outlook Premium for personalised email address with success. So far there was no issue.

    Yes, I also have a zone with them for a domain registered elsewhere and it also hasn't been removed yet.

    But it's just reasonable to point out that this feature is intended for other purposes (to prepare a domain for transfer to GD without downtime) and NOT for prolonged use without transfer.

    In fact, they specifically warn you to to this by saying that they might deactivate it.

    That's why I called it "not for productive use".

    But as lon as it works...

    Also, sidenote: if you domain can't be transferred, I believe you can buy a premium service there that allows you to formally use their NS without having the domains there (effectively what you do today but with the guarantee that they don't delete you).

    Just for reference. If you experience any trouble you can resort to that.

    But it's not cheap and kind of ruins the business case I think.
