DomPing.com – New Domain Checking Tools
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010 | Author: admin

DomPing is one of the latest Internet domain checking tools and it is a very powerful tool. It is normally used for manual fault isolation purposes but it could be used for a variety of other domain checking purposes. The functioning of ping is quite simple. The ping command sends a small packet to a particular domain or an IP address for testing the effectiveness and speed of the network communications. The packet bounces off the domain or the IP address and ping calculates the time taken by the packet to reach the domain and return back. Hence, the basic function of ping command is to test the network and find out how fast your computer could reach another domain or IP address in the network. However, due to the heavier load it imposes on the network, it would be advisable not to use domain ping command from automated scripts or during regular operations.

The term ‘ Ping’ was derived from ‘Packet Internet Groper’. The most modern ping program that is widely used as a versatile diagnostic tool on the Internet was written and compiled in its present form in December 1983 by Mike Muuss. Since Muuss felt that the domain ping command worked just like a sonar ping locating objects from sound echo, he named it as ping. The domain ping could be used to perform the following diagnostic tests on the WWW network.

Website Check for Access

DomPing is used to verify whether another computer is easily reachable. This provides instant website check. If a particular website is not responding to the domain ping command but other websites are answering, then you could be sure that the network is fully functional but the particular website is down or inaccessible for some reason. However, if none of the websites are reacting to ping, then it would be obvious that the entire network is down.

Checking Domain IP Address and Website Ranking

The DomPing command is widely used to probe a particular domain IP address or a domain name. When you ping a particular domain name or a website, the correct IP address of the website and its ranking are displayed in response. Here is top 1000 websites rank by alexa: top 1000 .net, top 1000 .de…

Google Checking with DomPing

Google analytical checking, Google AdSense checking, Google Adwords checking, Google Checkout, etc. could be done quite easily by properly incorporating the Google Analytics code to your website. Once the procedure is over, you would be able to ping Google and get reports on all these aspects and check the status of each page that you ping. The details of visitors would be automatically displayed if you had correctly embedded the Google Analytics code on each page of your website and you ping Google for the details of the visitors.

At DomPing.com, we had been specializing in customizing the features of ping to suit the needs of each client through exclusive processes. We had assisted numerous network administrators to ping and track several domains or TCP/IP addresses simultaneously and automatically generate report error codes. These reports would be directed to your email address to enable you to evaluate and check domains, websites, rankings, Google AdSense, Google analytics, etc. Contact us for complete details of ping benefits.
