How to connect your domain to Adobe Portfolio

Want to link your domain to your Adobe Portfolio? We can do that! Before we begin, be sure to get the IP addresses of your web server for your Adobe Portfolio. This link from the Adobe Portfolio Knowledge base will show you how.

Adobe Portfolio offers two IP addresses, you will want to use both.

Let's get started! You will need to add four A records for your domain to work.

Log in. You should arrive at the Domain Management screen. If you're already logged in, click on ACCOUNT in the top-right corner and select Domain Management.

2

Click the drop-down list to the far right of your domain. Then click the "Edit" option next to DNS records.

3

On the Manage DNS Records screen, scroll down and locate one or more A records that are currently pointing at the wrong web server. Click the trash can icons to the right of the bad records to remove them.

Scroll to the top of the Manage DNS Records screen, and enter the following information:
