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?

        What would be the point of that?  When users land on your default portfolio site, only one domain address can appear in their browser's address bar.

         

        FYI, you can publish up to 5 portfolio sites  -- each with their own myportfolio.com  URL.  Maybe that's what you're looking for.

        Thanks Nancy,

         

        "The reason for that" is having the ability to duplicate collections and then publish them to two different sites. As a user, I would like to easily duplicate an entire website so that I don't need to recreate the experience from scratch. This need has been surfaced in other forums with Adobe Portfolio previously. That way as a user I could manage two websites very easily in two different addresses (myportfolio.com & custom domain). It sounds like this isn't possible though and Adobe Portfolio will only point to either a custom IP or the subdomain. After testing it looks like that's the case. When the custom domain is removed the user is redirected to the subdomain regardless.
