If you own a web site, it's important to know how many people are visiting your site and where are they originating from. There are many web statistics programs on the market, but did you know that some of the best programs already come free with most web hosting plans.

If you have a web hosting plan for your web site that includes
cpanel, then you probably
have a whole bunch of web statistic programs built in. Cpanel is a type of
control panel for web hosting products.
It is extremely easy to use and offered to administrate your web site. There
are usually 3 different types of statistics you will find on cpanel; Analog,
Webalizer and
Awstats.
Webalizer is a statistic program that shows you in a graph form how many
visitors have visited your site month by month. This type of statistics is very
basic and only takes a quick glance to receive your web site information. If you
want more detailed information you will probably need to check out the other two
statistic programs.
Depending on your information requirements you may prefer Analog or Awstats. Analog
gives you detailed information, however it can be at times difficult to read.
All the information you probably like to know is listed on Analog, but most
people have difficulty finding it.
Awstats, is usually the favorite web site statistic program on cpanel. Not only
does it tell you plenty of information, from number of hits per day and month,
it also tells you
- where they originate from
- how long visitors stayed at your site
- what country did they come from
- what browser did they use
- their IP address, etc.
It is also simple to read and find the information that you're looking for.
So if you have a web site and would like to know more about your visitors check
out your cpanel statistic programs. They can be extremely helpful in analyzing
your site and drawing more traffic to it.
