Purchasing Domain for Office365?

[hardware]

Hi

 

Got a small education establishment we working with, they don't have their own website and just using as a link from the main councils website

 

They looking to move to Office365 they have their own Windows server running a few laptops and desktops all basic setup nothing too fancy

 

They looking to migrate everything to O365 but to setup an account they need a domain name right?? i.e theirwebsite.com or whatever

 

Any suggestions where to get this from or any preferences or companies you can recommend for a domain name

 

once they have a domain name then I guess they can signup for a 365 account

 

 

Thanks

NameCheap is good. I haven't had any issues, although after buying the domains I switch the nameservers to Cloudflare.

 

Avoid GoDaddy though.

Thanks guys! will take a look

 

Regarding getting the domain name for educational use did you guys have to submit anything to prove this?

You only need to prove anything if the domain type is restricted. Eg. .sch.uk or .ac.uk. For a company, I would go with .co.uk, or for a non-profit, I'd go with .org.uk. There's no special requirements for either.
