With traceroute / tracert you can follow the traffic from your computer to your server, through all the intermediate steps it encounters along the way (also called internet peers or hops).
If you have problems with lost packets (packet loss) or large lag, you can determine in this way whether the problem lies with your router, your Internet Service Provider (ISP), your hosted server, or somewhere else on the road.
Follow these steps in the control panel to perform a traceroute check: 1. Go to “My Products”> “Web Hosting” “> Click the “Manage Hosting” button to the right of your domain name. 2. Copy the IP address 3. Open the command line: Right click on the Windows button on your screen, and choose Command Prompt. The command window will appear. 4. Type the following command, with the IP address you copied from the Overview panel: tracert xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

What does this output mean?
When you give the traceroute command, your machine will start sending three packets to each peer on the way from your computer to your server. Each line of the output represents one of those intermediate stops: the name, IP address and return time for each packet or round trip time (the time it took for your packet to go to the intermediate stop and back). A star means that the package has been lost. Three stars means a timeout of the request.
It is important to know whether the destination (IP or server) has been reached – you will now see the IP or name of the server in the last line of the output.
To solve any problems, you have to look at this output. It is normal for each intermediate stop to take a little more time to answer than the previous one – after all, it is a bit further away. If there is a point that takes abnormally longer to return your package, or too often gave a timeout before responding, you should investigate it.
Tip: if you don’t recognize the name or IP address of the intermediate stop, you can look it up via the IP Lookup.
Ping is a simple way to verify that a computer can communicate over the network with another computer or server. The ping command sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request messages for the response.
Press the Windows key + R, then type "cmd.exe" and click OK. Enter "telnet + IP address or hostname + port number" (e.g., telnet www.example.com 1723 or telnet 10.17.xxx.xxx 5000) to run the telnet command in Command Prompt and test the TCP port status. If the port is open, only a cursor will show.
Open your Command Prompt / Power Shell (Windows) or Terminal (Mac OS)Enter nslookup mail.your-domain.com and press enter. Nslookup will list your servers IP address in the section “Non-authoritative answer”.
Ping (Packet InterNet Groper) is a computer network administration utility that helps one to check whether a particular IP address or domain is accessible on the computer network or not. Ping works by sending a packet to a provided address and waiting for the reply. It also measures round trip time and reports errors.
Step 1: Use the device search function to open the command prompt. Step 2: Type 'nslookup domain.com' (without using quotation marks and where domain is your domain) into the command prompt, then click enter. This will display the server's network settings.
Type "cmd" (without the quotes) in the Open text entry box and click the "OK" button.Enter the command: "FOR /L %i IN (1, 1, 254) DO ping -a -n 1 192.168.1.%i | FIND /i "Reply">> c:\ipaddresses.
Ping command Open a command prompt or terminal window. Type ping followed by the domain name. For example, to check if the domain example.com is active, you would type ping example.com . If the domain is active, you will see a response from the server.

Expand “Local Users and Groups” and click to access the “Groups” list. Here, you should find all the information you need. In the group “Remote Desktop Users”, those users listed will have been allocated access privileges.
