You can also do it yourself by going into the command line and type "ping 74.116.1.35" and "tracert 74.116.1.35"
You dont need that website
That'll only give you latency, not throughput.

If the OP wants to know the location of the server..... of course the actual BITOG server IP address might not be in a site in Alabama.

Looks like the datacenter was in Atlanta, at least in 2012-
From their blog July 27th, 2012: https://expresshosting.net/blog/
We are currently having some issues with the UPS for the datacenter in Atlanta.

Thanks WW, that's what I wanted to know. BITOG is not the only place I'm having issues with, It's just that there are so many knowledgeable people here.
TWC says, "not their problem"

From this far corner of the South Pacific I find BITOG is ripping fast, much faster than my personal website which is hosted in Ohio.
I would attribute the speed though to the fact that the content is nearly entirely raw text.

Wrong. Not entire raw text. Raw text would be a website like Fanfiction.net The major hubs of the internet in the US are LA, San Jose, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, McLean VA, New York City

There is a LOT of static content that makes up the forums. Every image you see, css, and javascript as well. We use a CDN that caches all of the static content on servers around the world. When your browser requests a page from the forums, it has to be built dynamically, but the static content (large stuff) is served from the CDN datacenter closest to you. We started using a CDN about a year ago. It makes a huge difference in page load speed. Our server is also a dedicated box that is extremely fast, so it builds the dynamic content and gets it to your browser extremely quickly.
