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.

    Microsoft, we've been following this ticket for years and it seems to be the number one SharePoint feature request. Please give us an update to the status of when this will be available? Thank you,

    Hi Any recent updates on this at all? Looking to change Company Name etc in the next few days. Thanks in advance. Don't want to go through the whole process of New Tenant and migration of mailboxes.

    Yes. This is absolutely needed. Microsoft wrongly named my URL while configuring. Hence, I need this very much.

    Hello It would be very nice if we could have an ETA as to when this will be available.

    This should have been done years ago when SharePoint online was first offered. MS is capable of generating SSL certs and validating domain names should be easy enough. AWS does this for hosted sites with a simple DNS verification process.

    This is business need and must be sorted out asap. Kindly do update any alternative for time being as customer not happy to use tenant name. Business need the same Url to be continue in online as well after migration

    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.

    I have also upvoted https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/39911329-change-sharepoint-site-sub-domain

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