Using Live Stats on your domain name

Once Live Stats are installed on a domain there are two ways you can view your statistics.

  1. Select 'Live Stats' under 'Statistics' on your control panel. Then select the domain you wish to view statistics on.
  2. Go to http://livestats.yourpersonalname.co.uk
  3. Select what you want to see by using the left hand bar.

Configuring Live Stats

When you are viewing your Live Stats you will notice a link in the top right hand corner called 'Virtual Admin'. From here you can configure various settings for your Live Stats including:

Full online help is available when using the system. A link to this can be found in the top right hand corner of the Live Stats screen.

VERY IMPORTANT: After you install Live Stats on a domain it is important that you consider your security settings as by default anyone will have access to your stats. Add a new new user with your own name and password and then go to User Permissions and give that new user all the rights and remove public access to all the parts you do not want anyone else to see. You should at the minimum remove access rights to the Admin section to the Public Access group.

VERY IMPORTANT: Remember your own password as it takes a long time for us to reset the Live Stats package. Do not share your password with other people.
