How to Add a Domain in Microsoft 365 | Multiple domains

[@karthost]

Thanks for this video. The only part we need clarification on was adding a Domain Alias, found it thanks again!

[@itwithcarlos]

Hi Roy, thank you for your comment! Have a nice day!

[@taaee]

Nice and simple as it [always] should be! Your explanation is straight to the point. Congrats!

[@itwithcarlos]

Thank you!!!

[@pevarisco]

Great explanation, Carlos. I'm learning Exchange and this is what I need: short videos focus in something particular. BTW, It's a shame to have this amazing video in low resolution...

[@itwithcarlos]

Thank you Pablo for your comment. I agree, I am working on the video resolution.

[@DerrickThomas17]

Nice video. Very informative. I have to add a new domain to my client's existing tenant. I see the process is the same!

[@itwithcarlos]

Hi Derrick, thank you. Let me know if you have any questions.

[@nv9297]

Great video!! I did it following your steps but my old business email with Zoho has stopped receiving emails. How could I fix this issue? Thanks in advance for your help!!

[@itwithcarlos]

Thanks, when you modify your domain's MX record, you are actually changing the server that will receive your emails. In general, you can't have emails in two different servers (services) at the same time and for the same domain. You need to make a decision about where your emails are going to work, depending on that, you will need to modify/adjust your domain's MX records. Let me know if you need any clarification.

[@nv9297]

@@itwithcarlos Thanks a lot for your quick response. I am going to keep my Zoho email, but I am thinking to buy a new domain for the same business so that I can provide Microsoft emails with the new business domain for future employees because people are more familiar with Microsoft emails than Zoho emails. Could you please give me some honest feedback about my idea?

[@itwithcarlos]

@@nv9297 I have seen businesses using more than one domain for different reasons and in your case, it would allow you to try and see if you find value on MS 365. Keep in mind that you will be able (if you decide it in the future) to move your original domain over MS 365 and have both domains under the same email service. In this case you could have all employees with both domain names (one mailbox with aliases). Hope it helps.

[@nv9297]

@@itwithcarlos Thanks for your advice. I really appreciate it.

[@raymunddelossantos]

Carlos, we have two different tenants and different domain. How can we merge a domain to the other and for the users to continue using their old domain?

[@itwithcarlos]

There is an option within the Exchange Online Admin center but it requires Powershell as well. It is not as simple as the other migration options. I have never used it. Thank you.

[@Sam-eg2sv]

Thank you for your videos, very informative. May I ask a question? While adding these domains, is it possible to set up forwarding on them to redirect all of these newly added websites to the "main" domain that we decide?

[@itwithcarlos]

Hi Sam, if you are referring to forwarding or redirect the websites, it can be done by modifying the DNS records (A and CNAME. If you are referring to forwarding emails, yes, it can create aliases under the additional domains to redirect them. Hope it helps. Thank you and have a nice day!

[@Sam-eg2sv]

Hi Dave. Glad it helped! Thank you!

[@chrisramlow5302]

Love your 365 videos Carlos, more like this please!

[@itwithcarlos]

Thank you, I really appreciate your comment and keeps me motivated. Have a great day!!!

[@erick7862]

Thank you for this informative video. May I ask a question : Assume you have 3 domains set up in your admin center, as you have done.. are they all able to use 1 Ms teams site, and 1 sharepoint, or would you be forced to have 3 separate teams / sharepoints ?

[@itwithcarlos]

Hi Eric, thank your comment. On your question, I haven't test that case, however, I could say that MS Team will be only one, however any user with a active license will be able to be part of the benefits of MS Teams, regardless of the domain his/her account was created. In regard to Sharepoint, the available storage space is determined by the number of active licenses. You can create Sharepoint sites that could be specifically (based on permissions) for one of your domains or a group or users. Hope it helps.

[@danalariealmorales]

Very nice video. Is there a limit to the number of aliases in m365? I'm also a zoho user and considering the switch to take advantage of the better search features.

[@itwithcarlos]

Hi Dana, thank you for your feedback. According to MS, you can create up to 400 aliases for a user

[@PersianRaceWerks]

Great videos keep pushing! Get in early with the Windows 365 content

[@itwithcarlos]

Thank you

[@singhrakeshr]

Once alias is created. Is it just a case of adding alias email account to outlook in addition to primary email?

[@itwithcarlos]

No exactly, the alias is just a nickname for your primary email address, however, you can enable the ability to reply as an alias in MS 365 admin center. Here is a video that explain how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opO0epKfm7tqg6M Thank you.

[@ozopozzi04]

How about the old emails of new subdomain, will it be migrated from old email server to office365?

[@itwithcarlos]

This will setup a new or additional domains in MS 365. The email migration is a separate process that you can see in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJjSoKyPl8x4gLc Thanks.

[@bbtresoo5759]

is the unlicensed user through the new domain name able to access all the app such as teams ?

[@itwithcarlos]

No, the unlicensed user does no have access to apps. Thank you.

[@JohnJB-et1cw]

Very useful! Thank you.

Glad to hear that!

Hi Carlos. Does creating a second user cost an additional subscription charge? I understand adding second domain and creating aliases is free for the original user, but with an *additional* user, we are requesting additional licences for Office products, and Microsoft is usually not that generous.

[@itwithcarlos]

Hi Imran, you are correct. Adding additional domains and creating users on existing users do not have additional cost. But if you want to add/create additional users, you will need to purchase the additional license for that new user :(

[@bbtresoo5759]

@@itwithcarlos hello carlos, came across your video, as a power bi dude trying to understand the whole microsoft subscription process all I can tell is thank you for your informative video . my question is similar to ali question, if we can create as many domain as we want for free to handle different users, why would someone buy a new license for a new user then ?

[@YasiX-un6ym]

thank you!

[@itwithcarlos]

No worries! thank you.

[@japanijadu9092]

Loved this, When is your next video coming?

[@itwithcarlos]

Thank you, the next video about MS 365 Business and Home (their differences), should be coming in a few days. :)

[@Mailman_NOB]

I followed your tutorial to add aditional domain...Also i added one new user for that domain without licence...Can i use it with that new user without m365 license only for sending/receiving emails in client locally installed office?

[@itwithcarlos]

Hi Hrvoje, if you create it as a regular user, then you will need a new license. If you use it as an alias or as a shared mailbox, then you don't need an additional license. In case you want to learn about the share mailbox here there is a video that explain it kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqSkfIOKeNx-ac0

[@blackbeltfoodietraveler]

hi, i followed your step but when i click the admin icon it takes me to the godaddy setup page and telling me i've completed my setup, but i can't continue your steps because i'm in a different place

[@itwithcarlos]

Hi, if your MS 365 licenses are with GoDaddy, then you might not be able to follow the steps from the video. I understand that GoDaddy does not provide full access to your MS 365 admin center. In this case, you may need to contact GoDaddy. Thank you!

[@Thorian8964]

So, this is how MSPs manage multiple businesses emails? Just add a new domain and just manage their emails on the same interface?

[@itwithcarlos]

I have seen people managing different businesses that belong to the same person but I don't think using it as MSPs is practical. It could be problematic when people decide to migrate/split the service. Thank you.

[@aspenz1329]

Carlos. Can i use one domain and make it work with 2 hosting providers?

[@itwithcarlos]

It depends, not for the same service. I mean, you could have your website with one provider and your email service with another provider. In general, you can't have the email service with two providers unless you use a special configuration (hybrid) where some email accounts are with one provider and other with another one. I particularly don't recommend this type of configuration. It may present many limitations and is more complex. Thank you.

[@aspenz1329]

@@itwithcarlos Thanks a lot

[@navizat]

it works for business customers only. You were supposed to tell that from the beginning to avoid confusion and time-wasting

[@itwithcarlos]

You are right, it is only for MS 365 Business or Enterprise. Thank you.

[@hostprolimited]

Nice content

[@FulvioGaggioli]

Can a user send email with both aliases?

[@itwithcarlos]

It depends. If you create a regular alias for your email account you can't send as the alias, however, you can create a shared mailbox instead and it will allow you to send from the Shared mailbox. Here is a video that will explain how shared mailboxes work. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqSkfIOKeNx-ac0 Thank you!

[@ppal64]

How are you adding new users at no cost?

[@itwithcarlos]

Additional users require licenses. There are cases where you may want to create users without licenses (an backup admin for example). You will find the option to create a user without license when adding a new user. Thank you.
