We Need A New Dedicated Server. Need Help Finding The Fastest One. Does A Ping Test Help?

Category: FAQ   Time: 2009-06-27   Tags: , , , , , , , ,

we are currently on Godaddy and thinking about moving to lunarpages. I don’t know if this test really means what I think it means but when I ping both godaddy and lunarpages, lunarpages comes back about 23ms and godaddy about 55ms. Does that mean lunarpages servers are faster/better? or does this all have to do with my distance to their physical servers and my internet connection?

    A ping may vary depending on traffic on your ISP and various other factors. It’s not a reliable method of determining whether one server is faster than another.
    There are also other things to consider, besides just the network connection, for making such a determination.
    If you want to pay the cost of a DS or OC line, I’ll host a dedicated server for you. :)
