Network Tools
The Network Tools option provides you with access to a common network tracing utility named Traceroute. Traceroute does exactly
what its name implies, tracing the route of data from your domain to the server you specify. The results of performing a Traceroute show you every server your packets
of information are going to in order to connect to that server. The results can indicate if any of the servers along the way are causing connection problems by timing out or by
slowing down the data flow. This is a good tool to use to help determine if a slow or downed connection is a problem on your server or someone else's server.
How To Use the Network Tools
