Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could clear this up for me.
The current MS recommendation is for us all to use HNSC as "this is the way it is done in Office 365".
Yet, all the documentation I have found indicates that HNSC are not available for SharePoint Online (part of Office 365). See the following:

Not available to SharePoint Online customers. SharePoint Server 2013 can create host-named site collections with the host header.
Host-named site collections in SharePoint provide URL management and scalability of sites within a single web application. This
feature is not available to SharePoint Online customers.

My company has just started using SharePoint Online Plan 2 and can confirm it is not possible to use HNSC.
So... why are MS recommending HNSC when you cannot actually implement them in SharePoint Online???
Am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance!
