Cross-Domain Hreflang XML Sitemap Hosting
A big challenge for companies is updating the XML files on their servers. We have had some clients where IT teams need 45 days to upload the XML sitemap files, and another client’s files are 6 GB in size, making traditional uploads a problem and giving direct access a security risk. The answer is to create a dedicated location, either with a subdomain or a dedicated site, to post the files directly from HREFLang Builder and then use cross-domain verification protocols to connect the sites.
Cross-domain hosting of the HREFLang XML sitemap eliminates the need to handle the files outside of the tool. For more information on this feature and how to implement it please review our guide for Setting up Cross Domain Hosting
