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.

We are continuing to validate this long-awaited feature in a Private Preview Program with a subset of customers. Although feedback has been very positive we have identified a few things that we still need to address before we start making this more generally available. We appreciate that this is taking time, however providing a consistent user experience across M365 that continues to function as expected is a complex problem. We will provide another update within the next few months.

Yup we need this as well.
I can't seem to do a DNS redirect to the sharepoint url so way better to have something lik
intranet.<our domain name> -

How about an update Microsoft? If there isn't a solution for this I'll have to pull the plug on a project before it has even kicked off.

This is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. Such a basic requirement yet there's been no progress on developing it. Agreed there should be a license discount until such feature is made available. Should have never switched from google.

This is kind of unacceptable, this is the "basic" and "essential" feature as a site!!!
We definitely need our own domain name for the sites!
although 11 months have passed, there is still no progress!!! -

I can only agree with others. This is a must!

Until this is implemented Office365 will present an unprofessional view to external clients when sharing Onedrive or Sharepoint resources. Until resolved we will use alternative services for sharing.
We should get a discount on the licences due to failure to deliver a business grade service. -

This should be a vanity URL, not a company.sharepoint.com domain.

This is an essential feature, what is the current progress on it?

The dynamics of companies are constantly changing. From acquisitions and mergers to market share and re-branding. The inability to rename a tenant cause confusion for customers and employees. Please add.

More than 1k votes for this feature ( https://office365.uservoice.com/forums/273492-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/7571643-enable-renaming-of-your-internal-sharepoint-url and this )
"Ridiculous" is the word to describe the lack of this feature. Come on, developers, this is a must.

In addition to changing an existing sharepoint site domain, we should also be able to create several sharepoint sites under several different domain names just like we are able to create user accounts with any email address as long as that email address' domain has been verified to be owned by us.

Come on and do this already - it was such a major oversight not to have added it to begin with. When I go to add a new site, the primary domain field is a DROPDOWN indicating that the functionality is already there, but it isn't - Please add this already!

This is a very practical issue. There are a number of reasons that a different name can be mandatory. At the very least, it should be made abundantly clear at the step of creating the domain in set up how important the decision is. There are situations where the name really needs to be changed but a migration just isn't feasible due to cost and complexity. Even better than a tenant wide change, would be the ability to have the site/onedrive url reflect multiple domains within the company. So users with a company1.com email address would see that domain in onedrive and users with company2.com would see theirs. But I'll take being able to change the name across the board.

ANY UPDATES??? HOW HARD IT COULD BE? MAKE AN INTEGRATION API WITH AKAMAI... GET CUSTOM SSL uploaded by customer for CUSTOM DOMAIN, forward it to AKAMAI, AKAMAI assign it to akadns-entry created for the website and that's all. Why making a big deal out of it ?

We were in the process of rebranding when we launched Office 365 and now we are stuck with our old name for the URL's. This is absolutely ridiculous in 2016. Please keep us posted on your "Thinking About It' status and maybe change to "Working On It"

It's ridiculous that years after this issue was first encountered by SharePoint Online's early adopters, we still have to request this critical ability!

We are running into this issue at a large, globally run company and need a solution implemented by the MS team to address this deficiency.
