Looking for providers interested in supporting a free global ping tool

Hi everyone,

I’m working on NetworkWhois Global Ping https://networkwhois.com/global-ping, a free tool that lets people run ping, TCP port checks and MTR from different locations and share the results.

I contacted several providers, and one kindly offered VPS resources to get things started. I’m posting here to see whether other providers would be interested in helping.

We currently have VPSs in London, Frankfurt, The Hague, Bucharest, Timișoara, Silicon Valley, Dallas, Phoenix, New York / New Jersey, Tokyo and Hong Kong.

I’d appreciate a small VPS in any location, including those already listed. Different providers in the same city can have different networks and routes, so those contributions would be useful too.

Your smallest suitable plan is welcome. It needs to run Linux, Python 3, ping and MTR, with IPv4 connectivity and permission for outbound diagnostic traffic and HTTPS.

The VPS only runs the testing agent. The website and results are hosted separately. The agent currently uses around 9–15 MiB RAM, excluding the operating system. Tests are limited in duration and concurrency, and there are no bandwidth speed tests. I don’t yet have a reliable monthly traffic figure.

An ongoing contribution would be ideal, but a fixed period would also help. Please tell me the duration or end date so I can remove the VPS from the testing list when it is no longer available.

Contributing providers will have their logo and website link on my website, with their provider name shown beside their VPS locations on the Global Ping page. If the contribution ends, their logo will remain in the supporters section as thanks for their past help.

The tool is free to use, with no subscription or payment required. We don’t charge for any of the tools or ask visitors for payment.

If you’d like to help, please leave the best way to contact you, and I’ll get in touch. Any small VPS contribution would be appreciated.

Thanks for considering helping.

George <3
