Statistical Packages

Hi

With all these new statistical packages being made available, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a particular one for my clients. I imagine they all pretty much do the same job but is there one that stands out from the crowd

LiveStats 5
LiveStats 6
LiveStats XSP
SmarterStats
AWStats

Any advise would be appreciated

Cheers

Andi

On all windows packages we use SmarterStats and it does a pretty good job.

Regards,

Jacob

Cheers Jacob

One last thing. Is there a way I can configure the dns record so that I can use

stats.domain.com

instead of

http://smartstats.active-ns.com/

You can setup the domain stats.yourdomain.com and then just have it forward to smartstats.active-ns.com

Regards,

Jacob

Sorry of course you can. I thought I needed an IP address to amend the dns record

Cheers for your help

Smarterstats is your better choice. It's sensibly priced and does a good job. The live stat stuff is awesome but it comes at a price. You're only going to need thoes sorts of features if you've got a big site with a team of people dedicated to the users experience.

Create a CName with the value stats.active-ns.com for your dns record.
