Domain names
What is a domain name? A domain name is like your digital street address. A domain, however, is a web address consisting of a website name and a domain name extension. The name is your choice if it is available and not registered to someone else. The extension is a few letters that identify the type of domain. The domain extension is like your zip code, and it gives a little more information about your website. Extensions used to be somewhat limited, but more and more extensions are now available.

You must have a Microsoft 365 subscription, which is not available in the trial version of Outlook. Once connected and verified, you will be able to have the domain accept email through your Microsoft 365 account.
