How Can I Test My Ping to Your Locations?
We provide an easy way to test your ping and latency to all of our locations at once. On each of our game server sales pages, we have a map that automatically tests your ping to each of our sites. For example, you can check out the one on our Minecraft page here.
Test Locations
Section titled “Test Locations”You can manually test your ping to the following IPs if you want to verify for yourself.
| Location | Hostname |
|---|---|
| San Jose, California | elvran.aleforge.net |
| Chicago, Illinois | lavamane.aleforge.net |
| Dallas Texas | giantbreaker.aleforge.net |
| Vint Hill, Virginia | umizean.aleforge.net |
| Falkenstein, Germany | fr5.aleforge.net |
| Sydney, Australia | sy1.aleforge.net |
| Singapore | kardatir.aleforge.net |
| Mumbai, India | nolobera.aleforge.net |
Moving locations or fixing bad connection routes
Section titled “Moving locations or fixing bad connection routes”Pick the server location with the lowest ping for the majority of your group. If your players are spread across different regions, no single location will have low ping for everyone.
If you want to move an existing server to a different datacenter, contact support and let us know which location you want. You can’t move a server yourself from the panel, and moving to a new location will change your server’s IP address and port.
If one player keeps disconnecting while everyone else stays connected fine, the issue is usually their ISP’s routing to the datacenter. Have that player try Cloudflare WARP, since a stable route matters more than a slightly lower ping.
