To connect a custom domain to Adobe Portfolio, go to your Adobe Portfolio settings panel, click "Domain Name," then "Connect your Domain Name." Adobe provides two unique IP addresses for your account. Navigate to your registrar's DNS dashboard and add these values as four A records: two for your root domain and two for www.
How Adobe Portfolio Maps Custom Domains
Adobe Portfolio hosts your creative work on its own servers with a default yourname.myportfolio.com address. Connecting a custom domain works by pointing your domain's DNS records to Adobe's servers using A records.
Important: Adobe provides your IP addresses inside your Portfolio dashboard. They are account-specific. Do not use IPs found in third-party guides. Always copy the exact values from your own dashboard.
Why It Matters: Your Creative Brand at Your Address
Sharing yourname.myportfolio.com with agency clients or art directors signals a provisional presence. A clean .com signals commitment.
A custom URL on business cards, social bios, and email signatures is part of the creative presentation. SSL-secured HTTPS provisions automatically, so no extra configuration is needed.
Phase 1: Add Domain in Adobe Portfolio Settings
Step 1: Log into Adobe Portfolio at portfolio.adobe.com.
Step 2: Click "Edit Site" → Settings → Domain Name.
Step 3: Click "Connect your Domain Name."
Step 4: Enter your root domain (without www) and click Apply.
Step 5: Note the two IP addresses shown on screen. Copy both exactly. Keep this tab open while you update DNS.
Critical: Do not remove and re-enter your custom domain more than five times. Repeated entries delay SSL certificate generation.
Phase 2: Configure DNS at NameSilo
Delete conflicting records first. Remove any existing A records pointing to @ or www. Old server records cause routing conflicts and will prevent your portfolio from loading.
Save changes. DNS propagation typically takes 24-48 hours.
Return to Adobe Portfolio and check the domain status. Once DNS resolves, Adobe automatically provisions a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. No manual certificate setup required.
Common Mistakes
Using a CNAME on the root domain: Adobe requires A records for apex domains. CNAME records on @ cause verification failure.
Not deleting old A records: Existing A records from a previous host split traffic. Delete all before adding Adobe's IPs.
Entering www in the Adobe domain field: Enter the root domain only. www.yourdomain.com causes configuration errors.
Re-entering the domain repeatedly: Every removal resets the SSL queue. Enter once and wait.
What This Means for You
NameSilo's DNS Manager supports multiple A records per host. Add all four records and let propagation complete before verifying in Adobe Portfolio. Frequently Asked Questions
