Hi i'am new at this and i have some doubt, been looking around but can't find the rigth answer.
I have a VPS for almost a year and i just open a reseller account with a new hosting company to learn about the hosting industry.
I was told to ping the ip and look at the resault to see wich is runnig faster now the numbers i got they are totally differents wich confuse me.

1-VPS Pinging the domain i get:
Ping static for XX.XX.XX.XXX
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4< Lost = 0 <0% loss>,
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 7ms, Maximum = 10ms, Average = 8ms
----------------------------------------------------------------
2-Reseller pinging the domain i get:
Ping static for XX.XX.XX.XXX
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4< Lost = 0 <0% loss>,
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 45ms, Maximum = 47ms, Average = 46ms
-----------------------------------------------------------------
3-Share hosting regular account i get:
Ping static for XX.XX.XX.XXX
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4< Lost = 0 <0% loss>,
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 34ms, Maximum = 38ms, Average = 35ms
-------------------------------------------------------------------
they are all diff. companies and all running linux located in USA, hope i supply enoug information.
to me the VPS looks like is running too slow?
Thanks in advance

This differents are not so essential.

is there is a way or script to find out wich server is running fine?

The differences are only 7ms, 36ms and 45 ms, all very low. Differences are negligible. If you have shell access, you can look at the uptime, but even that is only an indication of how the server is doing at - that - moment. A good rule of thumb is "you get what you pay for". so if you go to a shared account, which is much cheaper your server is shared by many others. chances of something going wrong are much higher.
