Website Traffic Analysis

Web site traffic can be valuable information. Most often businesses depend on obtaining detailed information about web site traffic and adapting to that information. The Virtual Private Server system allows easy access to all the statistical information needed about the usage of your web site.

The actual data logged in your Web Server Log Files can be difficult to read in their raw format. The easiest way to obtain the useful information from your logs is by using a Web Log Analyzer to process and analyze it for you.

Urchin

The Urchin Web log Analyzer is an efficient, fast, and easy to use Web log analysis and reporting tool. Urchin installs directly on your Virtual Server and creates HTML-based graphical reports of your Web server traffic. It offers several special features such as multi-language reporting, Virtual Subhosting support, and even E-commerce log reporting.

Urchin is our preferred log analyzer. By default we setup all our hosting accounts with Urchin.

Other Popular Log Analyzers

A few of these have been made available on the Virtual Private Server. They are pre-configured for easy installation.
