I cannot change my sharepoint online URL
I want to change my sharepoint online site URL from one domain name to another. Sharepoint site are always made with the domain attached with .onmicrosoft.com. I have added my custom domain and made it as a defualt domain but my sharepoint site are still using earlier domain which is attached with onmicrosoft.com.
How can I change or make new team site with custom domain and not with the domain attached with onmicrosoft.com.
Thanks for the help in advance!!

Hi Jay,
SharePoint Online URL can't be redefined to correspond to a custom domain.
SPO hostname always remains "https://[tenant-name].sharepoint.com", there is no way to change it.
Yet, ".onmicrosoft.com", you mentioned, is not a part of the SPO hostname, but a part of login and can be changed, so a user login would be "[username]@[domain.com]" (the same as in the Active Directory). The AD accounts should be syncing or ADFS is used to achieve it.
Also, as some sort of a workaround, you can host a simple page on a custom domain site to redirect to "https://[tenant-name].sharepoint.com", it can be easier for users to remember the endpoint to the portal.
- Sorry, but this is not possible today in SPO...you have always to live with the default O365 domain
