| Whois |
Is your companies name available ?
This is normally: companyname.co.uk for a U.K. company or companyname.com for an international company. If you have a common company name such as browns or smiths, you will probably find your name already taken. In this case why not try various combinations such as browns-ltd.co.uk or browns-plc.com instead. |

| Network speed |
| How fast is the connection from our server to

| Trace route |
How far away are you from our server.
In Internet terms this is called hops, the higher the
number the further away you are. If you are based in the U.K., a count of less than 7 is good.
If you are in the U.S. a count of less than 15 is good. You will need to enter your isp's address for example: www.isp.com.
Please allow upto 2 minutes for the trace to complete.
