Detailed Web Site Statistics

Detailed site statistics are provided standard with all hosting accounts. The statistics include graphical charts, monthly and daily summaries of activities. The statistics are compiled and updated on a daily basis.

This page explains the information that is available and how to correctly interpret the statistics.

Where are the statistics located?

Statistics for your website can be found by entering your control panel.

How are the statistics generated?

Every page on your website sits in a file on the Website Hosting Canada web servers.

Every time anyone on the Internet looks at a page on your website a program on the server called a 'web-server' gives the file to the visitors web browser.

The web server can be used to do all sorts of different things with the file as it gives it to the visitors computer. For example in a dynamic website, the contents of each page might be changed by looking at a database.

As the web server handles each file it keeps a record of the file that was requested by the visitor, the date and time the file was requested and it tries to collect information about where the person was located that asked for the file.

The records are examined on a daily basis and statistics are generated about all of the files that were requested each day. From this information, daily and monthly summaries are created to tell you about the type of traffic your site has received.

See the samples below and the following explanation of terms for more details on the type of information that is available from the statistics.

The site statistics are generated by Webalizer

Need more information?

The information provided in the sample for the statistics is the limit of what can be provided by the web server alone. It is possible to collect more information about the people visiting your website and the nature of the usage, but, this requires development of customized reporting systems.

If you require a higher level of statistical information you should discuss your requirements with your web developer.
