Our tech support may ask you to run a “ping” to your server and then send the results back so we can analyze them. It is helpful for troubleshooting accessibility or performance issues you may be having or simply a quick way to tell if a host is “up” or performing slowly or intermittently performing poorly. It works by sending an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request to a specific IP or host address listens to the ICMP echo response and measures the time it takes for the reply to come back to the source.
