IP-Tests / Ping

Ping is a basic test that allows you to verify that a particular IP address / hostname exists and is up & running accepting requests. It also counts the time needed for a network packet to leave and return.

Ping is a computer network administration utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer. The name comes from active sonar terminology which sends a pulse of sound and listens for the echo to detect objects underwater. A well-known backronym renders ping as Packet Inter Net Groper.

The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is one of the core protocols of the Internet Protocol Suite. It is used by the operating systems of networked computers to send error messages indicating, for example, that a requested service is not available or that a host or router could not be reached. ICMP can also be used to relay query messages.

Ping operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to the target host and waiting for an ICMP response. In the process it measures the time from transmission to reception (round-trip time) and records any packet loss. The results of the test are printed in the form of a statistical summary of the response packets received, including the minimum, maximum, and the mean round-trip times, and sometimes the standard deviation of the mean.

My server is up & running but I can't ping, why?

Some servers block all ICMP requests like ping and some of them are temporarily blocking because of a firewall considering ping as port scanning.

My server's ping responce is ok but I don't see my pages

Just because the server is responding doesn't automatically mean that the website is working, you should also check if the response matches the expected contents. Check also HTTP headers and other tests to be sure
