How To Tell Which Server You're On?

[Xantee]

I know it must be in here someplace, but I haven't found an answer to this. Nothing in my welcome email or cpanel tells me which server I'm on, so how can you tell?

[TCH-Dick]

It should be at the top of the cpanel

Welcome to ServerXX

[Xantee]

No, the cPanel has a welcome to me (Welcome xantee.net!) and shows the IP I am logging in from, but no reference to a server.

 

However, I do think I ran across my answer. While examing the headers on one of my emails, it does show received from server58.totalchoicehosting.com, so I guess my website is hoted on server58, right?

[TCH-Dick]

yup, that is correct

Xantee,

 

When you login to your cPanel look at the very top, in the gray box on the top of your page you should see the following:

 

Just imagine your info in the place of mine:

 

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Welcome tinywizard.com

Last login from:

 

 

 

Please update your contact information here.

 

Welcome to Server54

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

No, still don't see it.

Here's a screen shot of my cPanel (minus my IP info):

Server 58 did not have the Welcome Message added. I have set it up now. Servers 60-62 still need the message added as well and I will take care of that later tonight.

Moving to proper forum

There are a few ways you can tell what server you are on. A couple have been mentioned already here but something else you can usually do on a Windows machine is this:

Go to Dos (Start - Run - Command or cmd)

Type: tracert mysite.com

 

The last line usually shows the server. Mine is:

16 81 ms 80 ms 80 ms server30.totalchoicehosting.com [69.57.134.37]

so I can see I'm on server30.

 

Hope it helps!
