After several months of "by invitation only", the premium custom domain service for outlook.com is now open to US residents. (No word yet on when it will be available in other countries). While the regular price is $49.99/year, it's currently available at a special price of $19.95/year now through Dec 31st 2016.
What do you get for that price? For starters, a custom domain name and up to 5 addresses to share with family and friends. If you already own a domain name, you can move it to Outlook.com or get a new domain name from Microsoft (free for the first year, $10/year after that.)
When the addresses are set up, calendars, contacts, and documents are automatically configured to share between the mailboxes.
As a bonus, it's the ad-free version of Outlook.com.
For more information or to sign up, visit https://premium.outlook.com. You'll need to log in with your existing Microsoft Account or create a new Microsoft Account.

I am facing some issue with my Domain snapchatonlinelogin.org, please help me.
Did you confirm the DNS the way Microsoft told you to? When i checked it, it was pointing to godaddy's mail servers.
Is there an opportunity to check the availability of specific domain names before signing up?
You can go to godaddy or other registrars and see if the name you want is coming up as available. Or, just try your first choice and see if it is accepted.
Do you know if these premium accounts sync the Drafts folder with iOS 10? Office365/OWA does. Outlook.com does not. Perhaps a premium Outlook.com account does?
I have been through no less than ten MS Customer Support reps....none can answer the question.
Thanks.
The new outlook.com should be syncing all mail folders with ios devices.
do you know what happens after one year when example I stop my subscription, do I go back with the old domain with the same emails, calendars and contacts I have?
After 1 year, if you don't renew it, you will lose the custom address but keep the outlook.com address (and mailbox) you used when you first signed up.
