Server Testing

If you happen to run some sort of server on your computer (running your own FTP server or SSH server is a very handy way of transferring files) you probably already know how hard it can be to tell if everything is working, without someone helping you. Routers and port forwarding further complicate things, making it almost impossible to know if you have a working setup or not. hq42.net has some tools to help you test the most common servers (web, ssh, ftp, mail, dns,etc). All you have to do is pick the appropriate tester, and enter your server's address. Depending on the protocol, you will get some of the homepage or a welcome message of some sort (dependant on your server's setup) if all goes well.
