Use more than one domain address sharepoint

Question

Use more than one domain address sharepoint

Cams 21

We have two domain sites on sharepoint.

I would like to create another sharepoint site, but I want to use the other domain that we have created.
How would I do that? Cause when I just create a site it doesn't let me choose what domain to use.

@Xyza Xue_MSFT on the office 365 admin under settings > domain

And then this is the second domain I added. Sorry I can't show the domain name but the domain highlighted in blue is our primary, and the one highlighted as green is the second I added

Hi @Cams ,
Thanks for your detailed explanation.
The green domain you created is an onmicrosoft.com fallback domain in Microsoft 365.
It serves as a default email routing address for your Microsoft 365 environment. When a user is set up with a mailbox, email is routed to the fallback domain. Even if a custom domain is used (for example, tailspintoys.com), if that custom domain is deleted from your Microsoft 365 environment, the fallback domain ensures that your user's email is successfully routed.

Reference：https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/setup/add-or-replace-your-onmicrosoftcom-domain?view=o365-worldwide
A sharepoint tenant can only have one Top-level SharePoint site. You cannot create sites using another domain.

Ahh I see, so basically just creating a separate new office account would be easier then right? we'll just set that up with our other domain?
