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.

Our default domain, unfortunately, has a typo in it. Before we can use Sharepoint we need to be able to change the URL. This is clearly a much-desired feature. At the very least it would be nice to have an update to when this might be available.

Our company urgently needs this feature - it is a must-have to change the tenant URL. We have launched our Sharepoint intranet - and every time we share a link, there is the bizarro URL that is our old brand. Truly horrible, and it makes it so difficult to sell and promote Office 365 internally at our company. The update states "throughtout 2019" - now we are in Q4 of 2019. And the original request is from 3.5 years ago!

Our company this year decided to investigate ERP and CRM for our business. Since Microsoft has not been able to correct the tenant rename feature for Office 365 we are not confident Microsoft will be a good partner for other products.

Any update Microsoft? We really need this to continue to use your platform, it is getting to a point where enough executives are going to get feed up with the fact that our site does not match our company branding. This is the top-requested feature on SharePoint user voice. Please make it happen. Thank you,

Also, I must add it would be great to be able to have sub-tenant capability. For those situations when companies have subsidiaries and they want to manage everything from one point but want separation and isolation between the different companies.

This is the absolute worst lacking function of the entire O365 suite, some prior admin wanted to demo 365, and locked the domain in to a misspelling of our company which is how all the users will have to access sharepoint = very poor user adoption, angry executives, etc = they have chosen box.com instead!!!

Desperate for this feature. We have merged with several companies and they're currently all getting our branding and name by default which is bad. Really need the ability to make our O365 generic.

This is something that any company in the modern age using 365 and going through branding merger etc is going to need...

... They've released the site rename feature... nothing on the more important tenant mask feature.

Hi Bill, Matthew, Microsoft. We are desperate to rename our Tenancy before we start using SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive. We have held off rolling out all the collab tools so as not to add to the amount of work required to change tenancy name. SharePoint root name change or url name change would be enough. When will this be available ?

In our case, Our Partner wrote "Colegio" instead of "liceo", so in order to have a correct branding, a way that it can be done is by using a domain that is in the list of domins and create a subdomain.sharepoint.com from the selected domain.
