I really wish they would give Home the ability to use custom domains. I do find it frustrating having to pretend I'm a business and sign up as a business customer on a business plan just to be able use a custom domain name.





I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

You can use custom domain on outlook.com but it’s a massive PITA.

I thought they stopped that years ago?

Totally the first time a major cloud service has ever had downtime... like that time gmail went down.. or AWS went down.. or Facebook and Instagram went down.

 

We get it, you don't like Microsoft, but cmon.
