Adding custom domains

Azure creates an initial domain for every Azure AD tenant that is created in a subscription. This domain name consists of the tenant name, followed by onmicrosoft.com (packtpub.onmicrosoft.com). You cannot change or delete the initial domain name, but you can add custom domains to your Azure AD tenant.

This custom domain name can be registered at a third-party domain registrar and, after registration, can be added to the Azure AD tenant.
