Understanding Analog website statistics reports
Analog Website Statistics is one of 3 website statistics reports available with all our Web Hosting packages. Analog comes free with Report Magic, a graphical interface to the log file analysis.
Determining the number of visitors to your website
You can't find out the number of visitors or visits you've had, and don't believe any program which tells you that you can. Even though our other stats packages report Unique Users, it doesn't mean the number is accurate.
Distinct hosts served is the best measure. This is the number of Computers that connected with your website and includes dial-up POP servers. Because an ISP may have 100's of users connecting to each of its local POP's, Unique Users is a much bigger number than Distinct Hosts.
