Summersault generates general website usage statistics for each of our hosting accounts, updated daily. The reports can provide you with information about who is visiting your site, what pages they are accessing, how they are getting to your site, and various other related data points.  You may also wish to consider free third party statistics programs like Google Analytics to supplement or replace what our system provides.

If you are using Summersault's new control-panel based hosting infrastructure (setup after May 2007), follow these steps:

To access your website usage statistics, log in to the control panel for your hosting account.  Under the "Web/FTP Stats" section, click on "AWStats Stats".  This will take you to the most recent reports for your site.

You can read more about AWStats.

If you are using Summersault's conventional hosting infrastructure (setup prior to June 2007), follow these steps:

To access your usage statistics, visit http://webstats.summersault.com/

When you visit that website, you will be prompted for a username and password, which is usually the same as your FTP username and password.

You can change that password via the webstats interface if you prefer something easier to remember.

Once you are logged in, you will be able to make all kinds of changes. We recommend that you leave the default setup in place unless you are familiar with the statistics output and feel comfortable making changes.

To view your usage statistics, just click on the button labeled "View Statistics Now".
