How to Ping your website on windows?

 


Windows 7

If you are having problems resolving your website, you can ping it to see if it is a problem with your server, or if there is a problem somewhere in the internet as the connection travels from your computer's internet access through to the domain in question.

Here is how to Ping

 

  1. From the desktop, click start
  2. Type cmd in Search programs and files and press Enter.
  3. The DOS window will pop up. At the C:\WINDOWS> prompt type ping www.yourdomainname and press enter.
  4. You will see some results pass through the screen.
  5. It will tell you if there were any packets lost in the transfer (0% loss is what you want to see).
  6. It will also tell you the average speed, in milliseconds.
  7. To close the DOS window, type exit at the C:\WINDOWS> prompt and press enter.
