Ping a Website/IP Address in CMD
Run the ping command. Type “ping,” then a single space and then the name of any website or IP address. It is not necessary to include “http://” at the beginning of the address, but you should include the “www” portion of the address. A good ping command should read as follows:Example:- ping www.formerinformation.com
