Answer from support guy regarding Publishing site:
As we discussed here is a link to a forum discussion detailing the issue with using a Publishing template for the creation of a Sharepoint root site: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/077b9df1-2c03-4d32-9d9d-960f7fddff77/unable-to-create-root-site-collection-with-publishing-site-template?forum=onlineservicessharepoint

With recreating a team site i now get the following after 24hours.
