How do I create a public website with Microsoft 365?

Hello,

I want to buy a Microsoft 365 license for my company's operations. I need:

  1. Email (with a domain name) on Outlook;
  2. Word, Excel and Powerpoint;
  3. Agenda;
  4. Website (with the same domain name as my email).

Google has an offer but I want to stick to Microsoft: does Microsoft 365 have a similar offer?

Thank you.

     We truly appreciate it if you can understand that we make this difficult decision to discontinue the SharePoint Online Public Website feature 

    It wasn't a "difficult decision" at all. Msft has a storied history of throwing products out there and then when they realize they can't monetize them, causing havoc by abandoning them and leaving their customers to absorb the cost and pain. It's amazing this business model has survived so long.

    I find it hard to believe that Microsoft has no "key in hand" solution... I guess I stick to GSuite for the moment.

    I once changed my PC to a ChromeBook but I then bought a PC with a Microsoft license on it again because of Chromebook limitations. I seriously can't understand why I can't have a solution with my Microsoft account, which would be so useful.

    Anyway, thank you.

    Msft reneged on their promise to provide public web site hosting "forever" and removed the option years ago .You also can't use a vanity domain. If it's one page, you could enable "anonymous sharing without sign in"at the tenant level, share the page anonymously and redirect from a domain url to that page.

    Most companies won't allow the anonymous sharing option though for obvious reasons.

    Hi Neaj,

    Thanks for sharing your experience here and we will try our best to help you.

    We are sorry that Microsoft 365 does not include a public website for your business. To set one up, consider using a web hosting company like GoDaddy, Wix, or WordPress.

    For more detail you can refer to: Create your business website

    Thanks for your understanding and stay safe during this specific period.

    Best Regards

    Higgins

    But it means more logins and passwords.

    Can't this be done with Sharepoint? If I can simply have a front page mapped on my domain name, that would be enough.
