Linux Hosting : Web/FTP Stats

To view your website Stats Reports:

Login to your control panel at https://dserv.onahosting.com/cpanel/

Scroll down a few inches to Web/FTP Stats icon.

Click on the Webalizer to view your web stats. You can also check out Analog & Awstats, which contain similar information to Webalizer but in a different format and style. We recommend the Webalizer reports as it seems to be the easiest for most people to understand. The Latest Visitor and Error Log reports are also available on this menu.

Once in the Webalizer menu, you will see a brief summary of the past months. More detailed information such as referring sites, search keywords, popular entry and exit pages, time of day the majority of visitors view your site, most common day of the month and most popular pages is available by clicking on each month.

You will want to look at the number of Visits and number of Pages. These tell you how many unique visitors the site has received and how many pages are being looked at. From this information you can also determine on average how many pages each visitor views. Many people mistakenly use the term Hits to represent how many visitors they have had to their site (“We have had 3000 hits for the month”). Unfortunately, hits does not represent the number of visitors, a hit is actually any request made to the server and could represent anything from a search engine scanning your site to someone viewing a file. For example, someone viewing your home page will actually be viewing several files or hits (the home page itself and each of the images on the page), so hits is not a good representation of the amount of traffic your site has received.
