Hosting-stats
- There are thousands of web hosting providers to choose from. Whether you are looking for affordable shared hosting or a dedicated server, it is difficult to know which provider will give you the best service without some sort of benchmarks. In this section you will find detailed hosting service reviews that can help you make the right choice.
- When you have a site or several of them you need your web hosting to give you comprehensive information on the sites statistics and the web hosting usage statistics. These are a bit different things. Your web site statistics include all the pages of your site indexed in search engines, what pages have been seen by your visitors, how many and what files were downloaded by the visitors, where (IPs and sites) your visitors come to your site from, what are the best referrals to your site (this info can be used to make affiliate programs), how many visitors come to your site from the search engines, how many error pages noticed at your site, what countries you have referrals from, what are the most accessed pages on your site, etcetera.
- The sites statistics are very important if you are making some promotional campaigns on the web, like CPC (Cost per Click), CPA (Cost per Attraction), link campaign, affiliate programs, etc. Knowing all this statistics the site owner can see what brings him more visitors (customers) and change slightly the politics of the site promotion. All these stats can be seen and managed by special web site statistics tools like webalizer, awstats, 123loganalyzer, etc. All the statistics information is kept on your web hosting in log files and can be downloaded to your computer or managed with online web analyzing tools or programs.
- Web hosting statistics is a different thing. It includes how many traffic your site drive, how many free space is used or how may space you overloaded and how many traffic you used over. If you have many different sites at one web hosting the web hosting stats also show you all your sites web hosting statistics, how many money you already spent, when your account may expire (in this case the best thing to do is to pay the money a little bit before the expiration date comes). If you want all your sites running and never getting down you should keep an eye on your web hosting stats. Many different web hosting companies write to a customer letter with web stats every 2-3 days or at least once a week or once a month, but this possibility depends on how well the web hosting support department works and how much a certain web hosting company cares about their customers and the level of services they provide.
