Enable renaming the SPO tenant domain

Currently the site collection URLs are fixed as https://tenant.sharepoint.com and cannot be changed. This does not fit with flexible cloud-based solutions - business needs will inevitably result in an organisation changing it's name during its lifetime (mergers, acquisitions, rebranding etc). While it may not be possible to change it so that entirely custom domains are used (eg contoso.com, instead of sharepoint.com), it must be possible to allow the sub-domain to be changed (eg. newtenant.sharepoint.com)? Please?

Migrating an entire organisation (likely to include Exchange, Skype, Sharepoint and Onedrive data!!) to a new Tenancy is absolutely not a viable option.

    MS Teams Free clearly messed up our business plans. <BrandName>@Outlook.com is used to try MS Teams (Free) which created a tenant name of our brandname in Office 365 Admin. Now when we went out to create a Busniess tenant for our brand name <BrandName>.Sharepoint.com is not available and we managed to create a Office 365 for the same brand but the MS Teams (Business) is not creating the Group Mail Box even though Group email IDs are created.

    Any updates?! An acknowledgement of this issue would be reassuring. Surely there is a focus on this now more than ever. Our tenant usage has rocketed recently and the focus on our Microsoft platforms has never been so important. My organisation is an educational institution and we'd love to consider using School Data Sync to create groups for all our courses, however, as this would reveal our domain name even further to our students and cause a lot of confusion and misrepresentation, we are in a difficult position. A simple heads up or road map would great as we can then plan to deploy and keep focus on Microsoft systems rather than considering alternatives simply because of an old domain name.

    Our company has been stuck with my personal email address as our Sharepoint URL for years because of this issue. By the time we started using Sharepoint, we had already been using Office 365 for email and many other things for years before that. No way we could switch to a new tenant. This has caused us to mostly move away from Sharepoint, but we'd love to use it again if they ever fix this.

    Just to clarify, this request is for a change from domain1.sharepoint.com to domain2.sharepoint.com.

    Over 4 years since this was requested. Kind of ridiculous an essential feature like this is not available yet.

    The only thing more frustrating than not having this functionality is the utter lack of communication from Microsoft regarding status and delivery expectations.

    While addressing the issue has been procrastinated internally within Microsoft for the last four years - at a minimum there needs to be some official documentation for how customers should proceed with creating a new SPO tenant and moving associated Microsoft 365 resources with minimal impact to clients and other services.

    Sincerely,
    One of several thousand pissed off customers.

    It is insane that this capability doesn't exist. Please please please fix this! Until it is done, I have had to stop using SharePoint to distribute information and share files with my entire company.

    Any ETA on when this feature will be available?

    In the SharePoint roadmap I now see a feature called 'SharePoint site Url rename' (Featured ID: 56205). From there a reference to the sharepoint blog is made. In the SharePoint Updates blog I see a reference to this UserVoice at the section 'Site rename':
    https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-sharepoint-blog/updates-to-sharepoint-security-administration-and-migration/ba-p/549585.
    In

    In the example on that page it's not actually the tenant-id renamed, but a sub-folder in the domain:
    "So for example, if you have a site https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/Develpment, using the SharePoint admin center you can rename the site Url to correct the incorrect spelling of “Development”."

    Is the example wrong here, or is the wrong UserVoice referenced?

    unfortunately we beating a dead horse voting on this post... Microsoft have already confirmed this request has been delivered in the form of being able to rename the site name and not the sub domain as per my ticket raised with them (see post below)

    See new user voice and vote on it to get the ball rolling again

    please see user voice

    Hi,

    Would you pls communicate when this features will be available. Yes It is a must change for a big design mistake.

    Would you pls do some advertising about this design and the trap that people will have to avoid: office365 -> Sharepoint.

    People feel incapable to manage their technology the way that would like which is against the flexibility that cloud should offer.

  • Eugene van der Merwe commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    <3 thank you for your consideration. We'll hold off our merger until this feature is in place, we don't want to embarrass our 1000 employees with the old defunct name.
