Adding a Domain to Office 365

FIGURE 3-9 View the domains included on your account by clicking Domains in the Management area of Admin view.

When you sign up for your Office 365 account, you are assigned a default domain name of the form yourcompany.onmicrosoft.com, where yourcompany is a name you specify during the signup process. This domain name is then used to set up your services, set up email, and more. You can also add a domain name you already have to your Office 365 account if you’d like. If your domain name is registered, you can add it to Office 365 by using the Add A Domain link in the top left column of the domain listing.

Note You must own the domain name you choose to add to the Office 365 domains. At any point in the process, you can purchase a domain name from a domain registration site, such as Network Solutions, and click Add A Domain to assign it to Office 365.

On the Specify Domain screen, click in the text box at the bottom of the page, type the domain name you want to add (for example, wideworld.com), and click Check Domain. Office 365 displays the information found about that domain in the Domain Confirmation screen. (See Figure 3-10.)
