Use Subdomain differently from a domain connected with Adobe Portfolio

Hey,

I have got a problem with my domain I have connected with Adobe Portfolio. I can use it in a normal way but I want to use a new subdomain from my domain differently, especially not with Adobe Portfolio. But no matter what I upload in my web space connected with the subdomain, I always get redirected to an Adobe Portfolio Page, which says that the page is missing (https://portfolio.adobe.com/missing).
Does someone know how to solve this problem? I am looking forward to hearing from you!

See link below for details on using a subdomain with your Portfolio site.

To answer your question about using a subdomain on a different server, you'll need to change the DNS settings from your domain provider's website. Point the subdomain's A records to your new server's IP address.

I don't think so. But you may have up to 5 Portfolio sites. 1 with custom domain and 4 with generic myportfolio URLs.

Site 1: your_domain.com (main site)
Site 2: your_name.myportfolio.com
Site 3: your_name_xyz.myportfolio.com

Hey,

thanks for your answer. I have got several A Records, do I have to change all of them to the same new IP Address or just the ones for the subdomain?

Hi Nancy, I have a similiar need where I would like to use my portfolio site hosted by Adobe:

myportfolio.com & have a custom domain live simultaneously: mydomain.com. Is that possible? It looks like I always get redirected to the site I'm working on (pointing to in the settings). If that's the case then would the subdomain work for me? Would I need to set up another record with my provider?

Hi @Michael Dunlap,

A domain name can point to only one server location. It's your unique mailing address. When Google users type your domain name into a web search, the URL should resolve to your site on the named server to which that domain is associated through your domain provider's website.

For example:

Mysite1.com = server 1 (Dreamhost)

Mysite2.com = server 2 (Portfolio)

Mysite3.com = server 3 (WordPress)

So to answer your question, if you pay for it you can have as many domains and websites as you want. But only one custom domain name can be used with Portfolio.

Hope that helps.
