3.6.13. Domain Verification in Bing Webmaster

Attention!

  • The domain must be served on our NS... If the domain is served on third-party NS, the actions need to be performed not with us, but in the panel of their owner.
  • When confirming a subdomain for which no separate records of the type A and AAAA, and the notation is used wildcard, adding a TXT record will break it. In such a situation, you need add for this subdomain, records like A and AAAA.
  1. Signin to your Bing Webmaster account.
  2. Choose how to add a domain:
    • Importing Domains from Google Search Console:
      1. Clickon "Import":
      2. Log in to the desired Google account and go through all the steps.
      3. Check the domains you want to import into Bing Webmaster and click "Import":
      4. Wait for the import to complete.
    • Add and Verify Domains in Bing Webmaster:
      1. Enter the website URL and click "Add to":
      2. Select a method for verifying domain ownership:
        1. In the panel Bing Webmaster choose a confirmation method by uploading an XML file and download the generated unique file:
        2. Through filemanager or any FTPclient upload the downloaded file to root directory of your site.
        3. After completing all the actions, press the button "Verify".
        1. In the panel Bing Webmaster choose a confirmation method by adding a meta tag and get the generated unique meta tag data:
        2. Through file manager editor or any FTPclient edit the files of your site, which are responsible for generating the head content, and paste the copied meta tag there between the tags <head> and </head>.
        3. After completing all the actions, press the button "Verify".
        This method is slower than confirmation using XML file or metatag.
        1. In the panel Bing Webmaster choose a confirmation method by creating a CNAME record and get the details of the generated unique CNAME record:
        2. Add a new entry in the domain settings with the following data:
          • "Subdomain" - insert a unique line with the name of the subdomain of the received CNAME record.
          • "Type" - select "CNAME".
          • "Data" — specify verify.bing.com.
        3. Clickon "Verify" or skip the current confirmation and press "Skip and check later".
        4. Wait for the update DNS cache... This usually takes from a few minutes to several hours (maximum 24).
