Custom/Vanity domain name/URL for Sharepoint Online

Hi, I would like to change the default Sharepoint.com URLs to company's URLs, so: 1) contoso.sharepoint.com => sharepoint.contoso.com 2) contoso-my.sharepoint.com => mysharepoint.contoso.co...

I know this thread is old - but after seeing over 200 Office 365 customer tenants I have encountered one with Microsoft supported vanity URL.

https://customer.sherpoint.com -> https://apps.customer.com

Looking at the DNS record for apps.customer.com shows a CNAME to:

prodnetXXXX-XXXXedgevanityXXXXX.sharepointonline.com.akadns.net

and the customer's Office 365 instance uses their custom domain name and SSL certificate (not issued by Microsoft).

How this has been achieved is still a mystery to me - and I am continuing to investigate.

Cheers,

James.

I work in a very large company and they are using their own domain i.e. sp.mycompany.com. Even our own one drive is customized, i.e. mydrive.mycompnay.com. I am so curious how they did it.

JPSiglos your company's Office 365 deployment was created on BPOS-D/Office 365 Dedicated, not generic Office 365. At that time during the onboard process, we asked customer to send their wildcard certificate to us so we could manually configure them on F5 load balancers. This was only for large enterprise and government customers (with few exceptions). I don't think this offer still exists today.
