An important part of running a website is to monitor the visitor trends and demographics to help keep your site in touch with your viewers. You may find two statistics utilities which can show details on the traffic to your site and help you determine which areas of your site are least or most popular. You can view your statistics from the Plesk Control Panel.

To view your web statistics:

  1. Click the Report icon in the Domain group.
  2. View the statistics for the web pages or files downloaded from or uploaded to specific areas of your site:
    • To view the statistics for web pages transferred from your site over hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), click Web Stats.
    • To view the statistics for web pages transferred from your site over secure hypertext transfer protocol (HTTPS), click Web Stats SSL.
    • To view statistics for files transferred over file transfer protocol (FTP), click FTP Stats.
    • To view statistics for files transferred via anonymous FTP, click Anon.FTP Stats.
    • To view the bandwidth usage by months, click the Traffic History icon.
    • To view the bandwidth usage by FTP, Web and mail services in this domain, click the Trafficicon.

      Note: If you use Webalizer statistical package on your account, you can customize the graphical reports shown by Webalizer. To do so, use the “Webalizer Preferences” icon under the Report section of your MyHostCenter control panel.

Working with your website statistics:

  • To get more details, select the Full Report option from the Report drop-down menu.
  • To adjust the amount of information presented in a report, click Customize, and then modify an existing report template (to do this, click a report template name) or create a new report template (to do this, click the Add New Layout icon). Next, specify how much information you want in each section of the report: select None if you do not want any information, select Summary if you want a concise overview, or select Full if you need a detailed report. Select the Use as default report check box and click OK. To delete a custom report layout, select the checkbox corresponding to the report layout name and click Remove selected icon. Remove Selected.
  • To print the report, click the Print icon. A report will open in a separate browser window. Select the File > Print option from the browser’s menu to print the report.
  • To send the report by e-mail, type the recipient’s e-mail address into the input box located to the right of the Report group and click the Send by E-mail icon. If you are the recipient, then you do not need to specify an e-mail address: the system assumes by default that you are the report recipient and specifies your e-mail address registered with your control panel account.
  • To have the reports automatically generated and delivered by e-mail on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, click the Report Delivery icon and follow the instructions supplied in the Automating Report Generation and Delivery by E-mail section.
