Without a browser how do you check that if website is working ok or not on web server?

Answer 1

you can test to see if the server is active by sending a "ping". A ping is mainly used for this and for measuring connection speeds and response (ping) times...

if you are using windows 9x or above this is done by going start > run and then typing in the box "command" if that doesn't work, try "cmd" (no quotes). Once you are there, type the following info (replace [servername] with you server's name ie faqfarm.com)

ping [servername]

your response will look like this:

Pinging faqfarm.com [67.15.50.54] with 32 bytes of data:
