I currently have a domain name hosted by Namesco which I would like to use with my Microsoft 365 Family subscription. I would like to set each user with a mailbox name using this .com domain. Can this be done or do I need to move the domain to GoDaddy?

    The article linked showing how to do it states that it must be a "business or enterprise plan". So do the same steps work with a Family plan? I'm also wanting to do the same thing and move away from my own self-hosted email for just our 4 family members, but I can't seem to find a clear answer on if the family plan does this or not.

    Hey there, my name is Ajibola and I'm excited to help you out today! As a Microsoft 365 Family subscriber, you have the option to set up a custom domain. Office 365 also allows the use of a custom domain, as long as it is associated with a paid subscription. The Microsoft 365 admin centre provides a simple and easy-to-follow guide on how to add a domain to your subscription. All you need to do is sign in to your domain registrar and follow the provided instructions. Once the domain is added, each user can set up mailbox names using the .com domain. It's important to note that you don't need to switch your domain hosting service to GoDaddy. You can still use your current provider with your Microsoft 365 Family subscription.

    This response is bit confusing, it looks like this applies only to SMB and enterprise accounts, whereas OP is asking about family subscription.

    Thanks - Disappointing. Outlook.com for Microsoft 365 Family is basically useless for those of us that have had family domain and email for a long time. Cost prohibitive for a family. Will need to stay with my hosting provider and use Apple iCloud for calendar and contacts.
