I currently have the business standard (no teams) plan for $123/yr and I'm curious if there's a way to get something cheaper? I only use the exchange email service with my custom domain.
What is the price to have a microsoft email with custom domain?
I have a 365 family subscription and I own a domain. I want to create an email in outlook using my domain but I can’t find out how to do so. Do I have to have a business account?
Cheapest plan for email with custom domain?
Office 365 + Microsof Account for a custom domain
Office 365 is designed as an identity centric platform. I would highly recommend going with the business essentials. With this you would use your custom email address as your login name for all services. This will make things a lot easier than having to switch back and forth between Exchange Online and Office 365 home.

Is it possible to add a domain to Microsoft 365?
How can I move my Microsoft 365 domain to a different registrar?
I created one in zoho but found out that it doesn't work with many tools and the deliverability isn't the best. And if I delete my zoho account will I be able to create one in Microsoft with the same domain? (my domain is from namecheap if it helps)
Thank you. Good night.
I had the same problem so I googled and found this in Microsoft's help pages:
You can add multiple custom domains in all Office 365 subscriptions[...]
This help article looks as if it were possible but they only talk about the business versions and Office 365 Home isnt mentioned with a single word - so I continued my research, even contacted Microsoft - they had no idea, but then I finally found this post:
yesterday I called MS Support and the support engineer was discussing in the background with a colleague. Then he said that it's possible to use own domain with O365 Home... I just had to create a new account with my personal email adres/domain... after that I could order O365 and configure it with my own DNS domain name. Then after changing MX records with my hosting provider this would work for me.
anyway... I tried this anyway... I created a new account with my personal domain... then I ordered Office365Home hooked up to my paypal account....but in the end... no options for me to configure this. So I called back.... I got the same engineer... but then he said.. sorry, I don't have enough technical expertise, cause I'm a sales guy.... strange, because I tried to get tech help... The guy gave me a phonenumber to local (Belgium) Microsoft Tech support.... so I called the number. Then I got first or second line tech support on the line, so I expained the situation and the proposed option from his colleague. But I got a negative response.
No, sir, O365 Home does not allow you to use your own domain... why should it, there are not so many families using their own DNS domain, sir...
DUHH !!! What ? I don't understand their response... I times like this... people make their own family website... use a personal domain.... so I believe this is really a stupid reaction from a Microsoft Tech guy. Probably he has his own domain at home ;-) The only option is to choose for O365 Small Business and pay a lot more, because you need to pay for every user... every family member... so that would cost me at least 200€-250€ yearly.... please get serious ! so I give up.... Also Google Apps only has a business solution... also around 200€ yearly. Office365 Home... useless -> go for Office365 SMB... 2expensive ! I'll try again when Microsoft grows up and gets serious.
After all I don't think it is possible, I also found some forum posts and comments in blogs and they all say it isn't possible.
As of January 2020, this is now possible with a subscription to Microsoft 365 Personal or Family Edition (formerly Office 365), but according to Microsoft you are required to purchase your domains with (or transfer them to) GoDaddy. I have found sources that claim this is possible with other domain registrars, with some users reporting success, but Microsoft maintain that this is only possible via GoDaddy.
