Outlook.com Personal email address

Has anybody tried setting up a personal email address/domain with Outlook.com Premium now that you can use GoDaddy as a Domain registrar for your domain?

    <p>Can you give us a link to a description of this option? I've done a bit of searching and can't find it.</p>

        <blockquote><em><a href="#355169">In reply to paul-thurrott:</a></em></blockquote><p>Thanks for the link. Sheesh–it's incredibly limited. Only a single address, no additional aliases, have to use GoDaddy, etc. Not exactly a real solution for most people. One of the best features of owning your own domain is being able to create specialized email addresses for specific uses. Can't do it with this. Plus, it's GoDaddy only. Can't do it if your domain is hosted elsewhere.</p>

          <blockquote><em><a href="#356237">In reply to Minke:</a></em></blockquote><p>Yup – and from what I can see it's only five email addresses- one for each person you share a 365 subscription with. That's waaaaay too limited for a family like mine. I get that they want businesses to pay for the business version but still – it leaves enthusiasts out in the cold.</p>

    <p>It works just fine. What doesnt work anymore is: you cant setup the personal e-mail adress as your login. </p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#355195">In reply to SherlockHolmes:</a></em></blockquote><p>I'm surprised by that. I should test this. The issue is, my domains aren't at GoDaddy.</p>

    <p>I just wish we could use other domain registrars. GoDaddy is a non-starter for me. </p>
