Looking Glass for Host Mayo – A Guide!

What is Looking Glass

A Looking Glass lets you see different aspects of a server in order to gauge its speed or performance. A simple looking glass will enable you to run certain command not limited to ping the ip of the server, downloads file from the server and trace the route. All these features let you see how fast server response will be in respect to your location.

All of these commands can be performed manually after obtaining the ip of the server but most of the hosting companies are now installing tools on their server to enable users to quickly check out the network speed of the server. The access to these tools are provided through web based script mostly PHP. The user can then run network commands on the VPS/server and see how it will perform if they are actually going to buy one. So basically they are using a looking glass to magnify the specs of the server in order for them to better see what they are going to buy.
