How do i track the hits my website gets?

Fri, 25 May 2007 13:28:56 +0000
The first way to check hits is by server side scripts. These usually come provided by your host and are normally found on your control panel. These applications such as Awstats will produce reports every so often and show hits.
Another way is to use a hit counter script and place this on your website. This ...]

On the Wal-Mart-ized Web...

Fri, 16 Mar 2007 17:39:00 -0400

Liam says this week's most important trend is web hosting providers' continued expansion of data center footprints. The strong demand for hosting facilities seems like a good sign. At the same time, there are a number of outside-world developments that folks in the hosting business ought to keep an eye on.

1. On Wednesday, in addition to officially releasing RHEL5, Red Hat announced that it will soon launch an open source marketplace called Red Hat Exchange (RHX). As Business Week reports, Red Hat will guarantee the compatibility of RHX products with its platform AND provide tech support for each and every 3rd party product on the exchange. In addition, RHX will allow end users to submit ratings, read reviews and compare notes.

2. Later that afternoon, Microsoft said it will buy Tellme Networks. The Associated Press thinks the deal is worth $800 million to $1 billion.

3. Less than a day later, Cisco announced that it has agreed to acquire WebEx for $3.2 billion (or $2.9 billion, if you deduct WebEx's $300 million cash balance).

4. And last but not least Google sort of confirmed that it's working on a mobile phone.

It's a Wal-Mart-ized web; every Big Co wants to assemble a broader range of more seamlessly integrated products for a wider and better networked audience. This leaves less and less of a market for old school vendors who sell standalone widgets to isolated prospects.

For instance, consider 1&1's recent survey of 765 small business owners. Andreas says 100% of the respondents agree that the absence of a company website is bad for sales, but there's much more to these customers' operations beyond setting up a web presence. Might they not benefit from Zoho or ThinkFree powered productivity apps? SharePoint based collaboration? CRM?

More importantly, Andreas counts "hundreds of thousands of US small businesses" among his customers. As such, one super valuable feature that he's uniquely positioned to deliver is a 1&1 social network through which customers can connect with potential vendors, partners and buyers. I feel like 1&1 is really missing out by amassing a sizable community without leveraging it for its members' benefit.

As SWSoft CEO Serguei Beloussov likes to point out, 1&1 and its competitors have sold tens of millions of "web hosting 1.0" accounts, which collectively generate billions in annual revenue. He's absolutely right - but as you see above, the world's not standing still...

It was decided to switch on the nofollow attribute for all external links in the English Wikipedia. This has been an option for a while, and it was done now because of an influx of spam and talk of an SEO competition targeting Wikipedia. Whether it will stay this way for a while or indeed permanently, no one is really sure. If some links have not changed, I believe this is due to WP’s caching system, and they will be nofollow soon.

When Lightning Strikes

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 05:19:05 +0000

Just sharing a personal experience that happened somewhere around 8:30 PM CST.  So give or take it was a couple of hours ago. The weather has been crappy all day but there were no indications that what happened would happen.

Like I do most of the time I was setting at my desk working.  ...]

HSPcomplete CPU Usage Reporting Madness

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 17:31:18 +1100

HSPcomplete resource usage I do have a Virtuozzo VPS hosted in Melbourne, and the hosting company provides HSP complete control panel for me to login and view and change my account details. The column on the left also reports the resource usage of your VPS, showing you total traffic, amount of disk space, and the current “CPU usage”.

As you can see my VPS is currently using up 53% of CPU resource, out of 100% that is available. No wonder why my VPS feels so slow. However, when I actually jumped onto the VE and have a look, my processes weren’t using much CPU at all! vmstat shows my user and sys has always been under 5% combined (and under 2% most of the time). Type in upload shows that it is my 1 minute load average that is hovering around 0.5. HSP complete just conveniently interpreted to end user that VPS has used 50% of CPU resource, without trying to explain what load average is. That’s mad.

Hostican web hosting is the very few hosting provider that perfectly met the above criteria. The best part is that the hostican server uptime is very good, even for a shared hosting server. Once you have your forum setup, regardless its a phpbb2 forum, smf forum, or vbulletin forum, you can place it at the hostican shared hosting as its forum script supported.
