# Using a ping bot in Telegram

You can use our [Telegram bot](https://t.me/spacecore_pro_bot) to get useful information about your server.

## Basic

When using the **/start** command, we see a welcome message from the bot with all available commands and other information. Let's take a closer look at everything:

### /ping

The command allows you to ping any server by domain name from a large number of locations, such as:

{% hint style="info" %}
1\) Russia (**Moscow**)

2\) Russia (**Saint Petersburg**)

3\) Finland (**Helsinki**)

4\) Germany (**Falkenstein**)

5\) Netherlands (**Amsterdam**)

6\) **Luxembourg**

7\) France (**Gravlin**)

8\) Ukraine (**Kiev**)

9\) USA (**Chicago**)

10\) USA (**Miami**)
{% endhint %}

Additionally, the name of the host being checked and the date of the check are displayed. Thus, you can very easily calculate the ping from one location to another, since some servers are nodes of our services.

### /ipcalc

Displays information about the specified **IP address** as well as the applied subnet mask. You need to specify the subnet address and mask by separating them with «**/**». In addition, you can specify only the **IP address**, then the **mask /32** will be automatically used.

### /tcp

The command allows you to check the availability of **TCP-ports** from IP-addresses from different locations. It is used as a «**IP port**» or «**IP:port**».

### /web

Verifies the site by **HTTP** request with all locations responding.

### /whois

Displays information about the specified domain name, which includes registration data and **NS** records.

### /mc

To be used, you must specify the **Domain name/IP address** of the server **+ port**. In this format: /mc ip:port. If you do not specify a port, the standard port is **25565**.

The team pings the **Minecraft** server from all locations, as well as displays the current online.
