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.

Thanks for your feedback! Just a note to let you know that we’re building your suggestion now. We plan to increase availability to this feature as we continue improving the tech, and ensuring a smooth experience across Office 365 following the URL changes in SharePoint Online.

Microsoft have confirmed they are no longer working on this case because they feel they have completed the requirement by allowing us to rename a site. Even though this is not what was asked for. Please vote on https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/39911329-change-sharepoint-site-sub-domain

I'm on the same boat as everyone. Would be willing to participante in the trial. Even if it deletes our current site, we can recover. But the domain name we have just can't be used for business.

@microsoft please contact us to be apart of the pilot program, we have been chasing your support for this fix multiple times over the course of years. Currently we have been going back and forth communicating for over a month with no mention of this.

Here is a blog of someone who opted into the sharepoint tenant url rename preview and his experience with the transition.

Microsoft can you please reach out to the users in this post at the very least so we can be added to the pilot program?

4 years. C’mon guys! I cringe every time I have to give out a SPO link to one of our directors knowing that the original tenant name isn’t as relevant to when we set it up.
