RE: What are good yet cheap Windows hosting plans for private WPT?
AWS is by far the easiest (just start the pre-configured agent AMI) and if you use persistent spot instances the agent is dirt-cheap.
Then you can run the web server on linux anywhere you'd like. The original WebPageTest was run on Dreamhost for example because of the unlimited storage (but to be fair, that was ~8 years ago). |

RE: What are good yet cheap Windows hosting plans for private WPT?
You can see hidden locations with ?hidden=1 query param: http://wpt.goivvy.com/getLocations.php?hidden=1
Your locations.ini definition looks good. And yes, for the location to unhide, the agent needs to connect. The user data string looks good assuming a key wasn't included in the location ID. It could take up to 20 minutes for a new instance to actually start connecting to the server but if you left it running it should certainly already have connected. Do you see requests for /getwork.php in the access log on the server? That would be the agent connecting to poll for work. |

You may need to rdp into the test agent to see if anything is obviously broken there (though there shouldn't be anything breakable). Administrator pw is "2dialit"

![]() Do you need IE9 testing specifically? Otherwise using the IE 11 may be a better choice. That said, the urlblaster side of things should still poll for work so I'm not sure why that isn't showing up. |
