Changing the Domain Name

One of the major drawbacks of the solution I described in Chapter 1 is the long domain name. The domain name used for login, e-mail addresses, and web sites was apress365.onmicrosoft.com. It would be much better to just use apress365.com. This is especially true if you already have e-mail accounts and don't want to change everyone's e-mail address.

To use a vanity address such as apress365.com, you'll need to own that domain name and have access to configure its DNS settings. You can purchase a new domain name if you don't already have one. Both the Small Business and Enterprise solutions allow you to change the domain name but the process for implementing this is different in each. I will show you how to configure this on both platforms.
