Define: tracert

Tracert (the short for traceroute) is a utility what records the route through the Internet between your computer and a specified destination computer. It also calculates and displays the amount of time each hop took. Traceroute is a handy tool both for understanding where problems are in the Internet network and for getting a detailed sense of the Internet itself. Often network glitches of result in you not to be able to view your website, even while the server is up and running. This is because maybe a connectivity gateway, a networkpoint that acts as an entrance to another network, is down. These issues are considered to be resolved by themelves, but it's always good idea to contact your ISP regarding the issue.

This command can be executed this way:

1) Click on the Start Menu button
2) Click the Run icon
3) Type 'cmd' (without the quotations)
4) Type 'tracert yourdomain.com' (without the quotations)
