Server not responding to Bing (???) was created by Digistar2
Hello wonderful FreeToastHost2 Support folks,

I'm trying to get Bing to find / recognize / crawl / our website so it will show it when people use Bing to find Toastmasters clubs here. I used the "add meta tag" approach. Bing seems to be having trouble getting the server's attention as you see below. No doubt I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks for your help.

John. Club 3963.

You may have managed to mismatch the meta tag that you entered in the admin console. I recommend you just have the Bing web tools create a new meta tag for you.

The meta tag that is in the admin console must match what Bing thinks it should be for it to believe you own the site.

Bing gave me the same meta tag:

<meta name="msvalidate.01" content="CD599834B0ADB9E3254D9EC22D6B1161" />

This is how that meta tag reads in the header of the website, after loading it in with the FreeToastHost2 edit facility:

<meta name="msvalidate.01" content="CD599834B0ADB9E3254D9EC22D6B1161" />

I don't see a difference between them.

Bing gives me the same error message.

Maybe I'm not understanding your suggested fix.

Also, searching Bing for 3963.toastmastersclubs.org/ does not yield our web page. It does find our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Basically, our website seems to be invisible to Bing.

Google works fine for our website.
