I have a url or domain that is very long! How can I create a shorter url that acts as an alias.– DRSNov 25, 2015 at 7:38

You can just create a friendly url then. Provided you are using managed navigation.– AkhoyNov 25, 2015 at 7:41

1Is it your domain that is to long? like the "zzz.sharepoint.com"? If so, no there is no way to change this in Office 365. You could possibly add an internal DNS entry that points an alias to the full URL but that would only work where your DNS-server is used– Robert LindgrenNov 25, 2015 at 7:42

For example i have abc.sharepoint.com Whenever user enter this url, the user should be redirected to abc.sharepoint.com/site1/SitePages/Home.aspx without going to abc.sharepoint.com/default.aspx– DRSNov 25, 2015 at 10:38

currently there is no friendly name. I understand that within a business having an unrelated url to your standard name is not friendly.
usually if that is the case you should than have DNS setup. If so you can create a CNAME entry in DNS.
so the friendly name could be:
the main website is in mvc hosted on azure or internally that is called:
but you also have other subsite called:
and now you have a 365 site at
but you want it inline with the other sites within the business keeping it clean so:
within DNS create a CNAME that looks like the following:
http://intranet.google.com that points to https://google.sharepoint.com
the final stage is to update your "A records".
the "A recods" would be similar the the CNAME but this time you have the friendly name that points to the 365 ip address instead.
http://intranet.google.com that points to 1.2.1.365
