I am trying to start a business. And I designed my website idea on paper, and wanted to use Microsoft as the website hosting service. I believe that Microsoft has become a much better company over the years, and I am chosing Microsoft over other hosting services. But I can't create an account without a "business" email address. Which begs to question, how does one get a business email address without first creating a website for it? Yes, one could reserve the domain name, find someone to host the email server and then, find hosting. But I don't agree this should be the path, since everyone else just allows the user to create a website with any email, and then once the domain is reserved, it can be used for both email and website hosting at the same time. I guess Microsoft wants me to buy the email service first?
