Windows Live User Mail Becomes Paid

    You live quietly for several years, everything works, and here you get a message on a holiday that domains.live.com will no longer be able to add new domains, and even later you will not be able to add and delete accounts in old domains.

    I recall the corporation of good evil Google, which closes excellent free services, and here ...





    We read the message:

    Dear user of the service Outlook.com!
    We inform you that important changes have occurred in the Windows Live Control Center. On April 10, 2014, Outlook.com stopped supporting the registration of new personal domains. Thank you for using this service and regret these changes. We will tell you what these changes mean for you, and offer you as our valuable client an alternative solution.


    We run to check in the personal domain panel, and there:



    But after all, they offer some kind of solution, read on:

    Registered users will be able to log into Outlook.com with the existing personal domain address, but from July 31, 2014 add and delete accounts in personal domains will be impossible.
    As an alternative, we recommend that administrators who need to manage email addresses in their personal domains consider purchasing Office 365 , Microsoft’s best web-based email service. After moving to Office 365, you can continue to manage your personal domains, and also get all the benefits of modern enterprise-class mail and collaboration and communication tools.


    Here you understand that Conchita is a comedy. Pay or use what it was on July 31 (many, probably happy).

    Well, the bonus is additional:

    We want to offer you an additional 90 days subscription to the Office 365 Small Business Advanced Plan for five users, provided that the subscription is completed by July 15, 2014. The Office 365 Small Business Enhanced Suite includes the latest version of Office for Windows or Mac computers, as well as an iPad, 50 GB for business-class email, OneDrive online business storage, and more.
    After you sign up for Office 365, and even if it is canceled, you can use your personal domain in Outlook.com as usual.


    Now the question is in the studio, what alternatives to free custom mail you can offer. We discuss all the options.

    Supplement: about Yandex wrote that, in my personal opinion, I’m not always happy with the attitude to users and their data (I recall specific examples: you can’t delete an account without a passport, some data goes to unauthorized persons).
