: Does just-ping determine a website's accessibility and/or speed? While looking for a webhost I wanted one that had good connectivity around the world, and ran their (shared hosting) test IPs on

While looking for a webhost I wanted one that had good connectivity around the world, and ran their (shared hosting) test IPs on just-ping.com. This is a part of a sample result:

München, Germany: Packets lost (10%) 24.8 24.9 25.1 178.xx.xx.xxx

Cologne, Germany: Okay 5.6 5.7 5.8 178.xx.xx.xxx

New York, U.S.A.: Packets lost (30%) 80.3 80.4 80.7 178.xx.xx.xxx

Stockholm, Sweden: Packets lost (100%) 178.xx.xx.xxx

Santa Clara, U.S.A.: Packets lost (30%) 158.1 158.4 158.7 178.xx.xx.xxx

Vancouver, Canada: Packets lost (70%) 189.4 189.5 189.5 178.xx.xx.xxx

London, United Kingdom: Packets lost (100%)


Am I correct in thinking that hosts with several "Packets lost" messages from different locations have less stable or slower connections than hosts with all "Okays"?

Totally wrong. Packet-loss may happen everywhere on path from you to hoster, you (with ping) can only say "some routes are worse for me, than another" (and slow, overloaded server may have bigger impact on overall delays, than retransmits of packets). Tracerouteote or pathping can identify, where exactly it (packetloss) happens, but anyway, it's (ping) not
