How to ping your website in Windows

Posted on: January 11, 2010

To run a ping:
On your computer Click Start
Click Run…
Open: type in cmd
Click OK
At the dos prompt type in: ping yourdomain.com
This will provide you with the IP of your website and it will show whether or not you were able to ping your site successfully. Note – if the ping fails with a timeout it’s possible that your provider has ICMP packets disabled which will cause your ping to fail even when your site is online.
