Internet Tools for you to troubleshoot your website.

I provided assistance to entrepreneur on how to establish their online business from getting their own domain name, website or content management system, their own email address and marketing.


Today is to introduce a network tools (or internet tools) on how to troubleshoot your web server or your websites from outside of your working environment. Instead of asking favor from friends to ping your website from their home or office network. You can do this task alone.


Use Just-ping.com to run ping command from different sources of servers around the world going to your website. To check if the website is accessible to other countries. For example, I ping www.king.net website, and here's the results:

I can see that www.king.net website is having problem accessing from Brazil and Lithunia. This report gives me an idea that most of countries have access to my website. I will check later again to see if Brazil and Lithunia will change to ok.


If you want to see the network route from other sources to your website, then you can use Just-traceroute.com tool. Simply enter your server IP address or your full qualified domain name (FQDN) e.g. www.king.net. The trace route will run from a terminal in Netherlands, Australia, Singapore, and USA. It is randomly selected terminals, I see terminals from Japan and France as well. See the attached image as example trace route result for www.king.net website. The trace route gives you information where the source network came from.
