A domain is a unique name that appears after the @ sign in email addresses and after the www. In web addresses this usually takes the form of your organization’s name and a standard Internet suffix, for example: yourbusiness.com or Stateuniversity.edu.

Why do you need to have the domain “onmicrosoft.com”?
