Lowest Cost Cloud Load Testing Tool

Verification of Target Server

Our verification process works exactly like Google Analytics. The idea is to prove it is your server so LoadStorm isn't used for a denial of service attack. For every server referenced in your test plan, LoadStorm will generate a unique verification code that will be used to confirm you control the domain in one of two ways:

  1. Filename in root directory
  2. Code in home page


Filename in root directory

You can put a file with the name generated by LS into your root directory - it doesn't matter what the file contains. So let's say your target server is http://www.xyzcorp.com and LoadStorm generates a code for your server as "90630fc588", then there should be a valid response if a request comes to your server for http://www.xyzcorp.com/loadstorm-90630fc588.html.


Verification code in home page

Alternatively, if you don't want to use the file you can embed the code in your default page. To continue the example, the HTML page received from requesting http://www.xyzcorp.com should contain a string somewhere within it (inside a comment tag is good) that matches "loadstorm-90630fc588". LoadStorm will parse the page returned by your server exactly like a browser will. In that parsing, the verification string must appear somewhere for us to consider it verified.


Complete the verification process

Once you have the file or text in place, click on the Build Tab, then select the plan name that is targeting your server. You will see a Verify Now link in the yellow shaded section that shows your verification code. Click on that link and you should now see "Verified: Yes" on the plan page. If you have difficulty or need assistance, please contact .


Do NOT create more than one server with duplicate domain

We occasionally get support requests from our customers that are getting an error when trying to verify their server. Almost always the problem is related to setting up duplicate servers.

For example, creating a server for http://www.xyz.com works great and verification is successful. Then creating a server for http://www.xyz.com/myfolder will not work and trying to verify it will produce an error.

Please only use the domain name when adding a server. And only use the domain name once.
