Question: Â When we decided to implement Office 365/SharePoint online, we found out that some rando is squatting on our company name domain already. Our IT organization found an available domain and chose that. Â But, it’s long and clunky.
We have the E3 license.
What are our options for letting our internal users get to the sites/share links without using the full domain name?
I understand that we will also hit the URL length limit faster now that our domain is:
companynameandlongerlegalparenttitle.sharepoint.com
instead of
company.sharepoint.com
but that’s a thing I’ll have to deal with.
Thanks!
As it stands today you need to migrate to a new O365 tenant with a shorter tenant name. There is an open ticket on User Voice suggesting we should be able to rename our tenant if you help vote up it may become a priority. No support for custom domains on private site collections.
Other option is to build an Azure Website on a custom domain that can be used as a landing page redirecting users to the long URL site collections (or internal infrastructure).
Hope this helps!
Matt
