How to ping your website and do you do it?

Usually I use the Windows run command to check out whether there's any packet loss but do you think that this is the only method available? Any other software which can also help us on this and give a more detailed report?

Dont really get why you use the cmd??? You mean you ping the ISP and see the status???

For the status i just click on the internet connection icons on right side bottom of my ststem and they show the bytes sent and received. Dont you get those icons when you connect to net????

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] <-- nice little ping app for you to use, if you know the site is running but you want to ping and let others know about the site then [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

OF course i get those icons. But how do you know every packets are delivered as per it is without loss. That's why you ping in the first place. You need to check on your website, not your ISP.

Oh its that way. No never tried it and i never knew about that too. Got to learn something new. Thanks.

The only thing i knew was i always pinged my ISP if i had any problems with my connection or whenever it was a bit slow.

Uh...Never mind, sometimes I get confused myself at times. Hey, why not try the link given by Llamalord. Works for me although the results are very basic.

So what's the site that you are talking about and has used? Any other which maybe all of us here didn't know about?
