I need a hit counter for my website what to use? I am the server

[SnowPunk98]

I need a hit counter for my website. I have a domain name and the server is in my room. I want something that will count hits and like when and what day they hit. I would if possible like a program that I can put on my server rather than a web based 3rd party

You might try looking/searching around the WebHosting Talk Forums.

What kind of server/scripting support do you have?

 

[gotsmack]

can't you just use the HTTP logs? 3rd party software costs money.

What server are you running?

 

[SnowPunk98]

Win2k server

Do you want a visitor counter or a page view counter, and is it just for you or is it for public display?

Personally, I really like WebTrends Live , but it requires a 3rd party.

Or you could use a log file analyzer such as Analog

Both are very good products.

if u got win2k...create your own damn counter with sql/asp
and store all ip address in your sql database.

a hit couter is not hard to write.

simple hit counter:

open(A, ">file");
@t = <A>;
$t[0]+=1;
print A @t;
print "this page has been viewed @t times";
close(A);

I remember Frontpage has hit counter ready for you to use

www.sitemeter.com .... theres this one counter that is simply numbers. no ads or words. simple and looks nice. i use it on my site.

if you want to put something on your server ... i think you can probably do that with some PERL scripting. can't help u there tho.
