All you need is to login to your DNS account when prompted and CNAME will be automatically added to the DNS account.

Upon successful sign-in on the DNS provider site, the website will get verified in Bing Webmaster Tools within few seconds.

In certain cases, it may take longer for DNS provider to send the site ownership signal to Bing Webmaster Tools service.

If you choose Add CNAME record to DNS: This option requires access to your domain hosting account. Inside that account you would edit the CNAME record to hold the verification code (series of numbers and letters) we have provided you. When complete, we can see this information and verify your ownership of the site.

Note: In case the site is not supported for Domain Connect protocol, you will see the default three options (viz XML file authentication, Meta tag authentication or Add a CNAME record to DNS) for verification.
