Checking your website's statistics

  1. For this you will need to log into your site's Control Panel. To do so, point your browser to www.yourdomain.com/cpanel
  2. Click on the icon labeled Web/FTP Stats.
  3. There are 7 programs for monitoring different aspects of your site. For statistics we recommend Awstats. Keep in mind that HITS has nothing to do with the number of people that visit your site, only the number of times the server was requested to deliver a file to the browser. If you need an estimate of the number of actual eyes visiting your site, refer to the column labeled number of visits or unique visitors.
