How do you test your host out?

How do you make sure your host is fast, non cogent, does it matter if they are cogent if they are fast?

Are there tools to determine what sites are nice and fast non cogent and which arent. Obviouslt sites will vary from different connections like adsl, cable etc.

thanks

in windows go to a dos prompt and type tracert hostname IE:

tracert www.somehost.com

The results will look like this:

Tracing route to yahoo.com [66.94.234.13]

over a maximum of 30 hops:



1 19 ms 15 ms 17 ms 68.152.193.53

2 18 ms 16 ms 17 ms 68.152.193.57

3 28 ms 28 ms 29 ms adsl-152-88-50.ard.bellsouth.net [205.152.88.50]

4 38 ms 38 ms 42 ms axr00asm-7-2-0-0.bellsouth.net [65.83.237.56]

5 38 ms 38 ms 40 ms axr01asm-0-2-0.bellsouth.net [65.83.236.9]

6 42 ms 39 ms 40 ms AXR00AEP-0-1-0.bellsouth.net [65.83.236.50]

7 50 ms 50 ms 50 ms 65.83.236.66

8 54 ms 54 ms 50 ms 65.83.237.254

9 111 ms 111 ms 113 ms ge-0-1-4.p149.pat2.pao.yahoo.com [216.115.96.32]

10 112 ms 121 ms 111 ms ge-1-0-9.msr2.scd.yahoo.com [216.115.101.46]

11 117 ms 110 ms 109 ms UNKNOWN-66-218-82-238.yahoo.com [66.218.82.238]

12 118 ms 110 ms 117 ms w2.rc.vip.scd.yahoo.com [66.94.234.13]



Trace complete.

You can then look at times and look for cogent.

To see what your host is using for outbound traffic you can do this from a shell account on your host and type traceroute somehost.com.

Correct but ask for it to come from the server you'll be hosted on and traceroute that server.
