Traceroute Manager

The Traceroute Manager can be used to trace the connection from your web site to the place where you are connecting from, or to another location on the Internet. To trace from your web site to your current location (yourIPaddress), just press the button labeled 'From yourdomainname.com to yourIPaddress'. To trace from your web site to any other location on the Internet, place its name in the text box labeled 'Server Name' and click on the 'Trace Route' button.

Note: Running a traceroute can take a while sometimes. Traceroute is controlled by ICMP packets. Many routers are programmed to handle these test packets as low priority. Therefore the delay you notice in the time it takes to reveal a hop is not important. What is important is the reported time in the three trials between the two hops.

If you do this from within the control panel and click on the Traceroute Manager and put in one of our IP addresses: yourIPaddress - you should see something like this:

From yourdomainname.com to yourIPaddress
1 ns.yourdomainname.com (yourIpaddress) 0.976 ms 0.750 ms 0.620 ms
