Traceroute is an application that traces the path data takes from one computer to another. Basically a traceroute is a map that shows what stops or locations that data must pass through in order to go from one computer to another. This is a very effective troubleshooting tool when diagnosing connectivity issues from one server to another.
Have no fear! We’ve got you covered on how to run a traceroute for both Windows and MacOS
To Run a Traceroute in Windows
The command application (cmd.exe) is used to run a traceroute on Windows.
Launching it is slightly different depending on your version of Windows:
To run the traceroute, type:
tracert desireddomainname.com
into the command prompt, where “desireddomainname.com” is the name of the server to which you are having difficulty connecting.
The traceroute may take only a few seconds or a few minutes. Typically, the closer you are to the server, geographically, the more quickly the traceroute will complete.
If you have a Mac, you can use the built-in network tools to run a traceroute which can be rather helpful.
traceroute domainname.com
If you believe you are experiencing network issues, having the output of trace-route handy and providing it, along with your public IPV4 address is very helpful if you need to contact ServerHub customer support.
