3.6.13. Confirm domain in Bing Webmaster

Attention!

  • The domain must be served on our NS. If the domain is served on third-party NS, actions need to be performed not with us, but in the panel of their owner.
  • When confirming a subdomain for which separate A and AAAA records have not been created, and a wildcard record is used, adding a TXT record will disrupt its operation. In such a situation, it is necessary to add A and AAAA records for this subdomain.
  1. Sign in to your Bing Webmaster account.
  2. Select the method for adding a domain:
    • Importing domains from Google Search Console:
      1. Click "Import":
      2. Log in to the required account and complete all the steps.
      3. Select the domains to import into Bing Webmaster and click "Import":
      4. Wait for the import to complete.
    • Adding and verifying a domain in Bing Webmaster:
      1. Specify the site URL and click "Add":
      2. Select the method for verifying domain ownership:
        1. In the Bing Webmaster panel, select the verification method using XML file upload and download the generated unique file:
        2. Using the file manager or any FTP client, upload the downloaded file to the root directory of your site.
        3. Click "Check".
        1. In the Bing Webmaster panel, select the verification method by adding a meta tag and obtain the data of the generated unique meta tag:
        2. Using the file manager editor or any FTP client, edit the files of your site responsible for generating head content, and insert the copied meta tag between the <head> and </head> tags.
        3. Click "Check".
        This method is slower than confirmation using an XML file or a meta tag.
        1. In the Bing Webmaster panel, select the verification method using CNAME record creation and obtain the data of the generated unique CNAME record:
        2. Add a new entry in the domain settings with the following data:
          • "Subdomain" — a unique string with the name of the subdomain of the obtained CNAME record.
          • "Type" — "CNAME".
          • "Data" — verify.bing.com.
        3. Click "Check" or skip the current confirmation and click "Skip and check later".
        4. Wait for the DNS cache to update. This usually takes from a few minutes to several hours (up to a maximum of 24).
