  • Where can I check ping and speed before choosing a VPS?

    I am looking for a tool to test ping, traceroute and speed from different data centers before buying a VPS. Need to make sure you choose the right region for your target audience.

    Before I picked my current VPS, I made the mistake of not testing latency, and it turned out to be terrible for my users. I’d recommend checking out HostZealot. They have a Looking Glass tool on their website that lets you test ping, traceroute, and speed from different data center locations. It’s really useful for making sure you’re choosing the best server region.

    That sounds exactly like what I need! I didn’t know HostZealot had that tool. I’ll definitely check it out because I want to make an informed decision this time. Testing latency from multiple locations sounds super helpful.

    Definitely — if you want to check things like ping, traceroute, or network speed before committing, hop over to this web-site from HostZealot. They’ve got a Looking Glass tool that lets you test from different data center locations, which is super handy for figuring out which server location works best for your target audience. It saved me from picking the wrong region more than once.
