Site Statistics

You can view your site statistics by going to:

http://www.yourdomain.com/stats/

Or you can view them from your control panel located at http://www.yourdomain.com/menu

Our statistics software includes many useful features including page views, hits, data transfer, referring URL's, and browser types.

Log Files

Raw log files are available to all of our clients. The log files can be found in the home/$user/$domain-logs directory. There are many statistic programs you can use to analyze your web site's traffic that use your log files. 

Raw access logs are *not* backed up. The space required to do this kind of backup is prohibitive.

It is important to realize this and take steps to preserve these logs by downloading periodically, if stats are extremely important to your business.

Two months of raw logs are kept in the "/home/$user/$domain-logs/old/YYYYMM" directories. Each month, the new month overwrites the month that is two months back, so that at the first day of Feb., Dec.'s raw logs will be gone and on the first day of Mar., Jan.'s logs are gone and so on.

So, it can be easily seen that before the first of every month, it would be a good practice to download to your local PC, or other storage device, the oldest of the two month's directory contents, as they will disappear from the server the next day.

If the stats for your domain should ever get corrupted or damaged, they can *only* be recovered from raw logs and only from raw logs that are available, that is, for the last two months, period. Unless..... you have downloaded all of your previous logs and can retrieve them and upload them to your server. In this case, all stats can be recovered. :)
