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.

Providing the ability to scale from renaming individual sites, to all sites within a SharePoint tenant, while ensuring a consistent user experience across M365 is a complex problem. We have been working hard on this long-awaited feature and are currently validating this with a subset of customers in a closed (no longer accepting nominations) Private Preview Program. As we consolidate their feedback, we will provide another update in the next few months.

    The 'solution' Microsoft gave me is to migrate everything to a new tenant. I need to use a third-party tool as Microsoft do not provide one.

    WOW....raised four years ago and it's still an issue.
    @matthew.carlson do you have an update on timing?

    Please, do do it! We have plenty of customers that chose a very unintuitive tenant name thinking it would only matter for internal administrative use. Use the default/other domains owned by the tenant owner would be terrific. Something as sharepoint.<some configured domain> <anything>.<some configured domain>

    It's worth voting on the below post that covers the complete rename of the tenant name/sub domain name (subdomain.onmicrosoft.com). Also covers SPO and all other services under the suite.

    This one has over 12k votes!

    Wow, still no fix for the #1 requested item on SharePoint forums? After how many years? Does Microsoft even care about its customers? Please, please, please allow us to use whatever domain cname we want for our Microsoft SharePoint URL. How is it GoDaddy, Yahoo, Google, Wix can figure this out, but Microsoft can not?

    Our name doesn't even reflect "tenant". It's a concatenation of most of the admin account's email address. Ugly as hell. Save us!

    Come on Microsoft please let us know when this will be rolled out, doesn't take much to keep us informed

    Maybe someone could give me a suggestion, I have an old company name that brought us down and we did a name change. I have both the old domain as the onmicrosoft as well as the new domain. We wanted to make a communication site public for our customers, but did not want them to see the old name. Rather than moving everything, if I just created a new Sharepoint under the new domain name we want them to see, would that work?

  • Thyran John Wright commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    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

    I kept my mouth shut for +4 years, but now I'm done with it .....

    In the bureaucratic Dutch administration it is easier to change your first name into something you do like but don't own (a new name) than to change the domain name (something that is already yours) and add/change/combine/connect it to a SharePoint tenant.

    The previous announcement "Working on it" is dated November 15, 2019. It's a pity you can't flag @admin answers as inappropriate.

    Hopefully @Dan-Furse isn't retired in the meantime ...........

    Come on guys, 'Make Microsoft big again'!
