14 Aug 10 How do I monitor my account for Data Transfer overages?
To monitor your data transfer limit you can use the Web Statistics for your website, which Gossimer provides you free of cost. The web statistics, or webstats, provide you detailed information about visits to your website, including the data transfer generated by them (bandwidth). These statistics are generated once a day, and are maintained on an hourly, weekly and monthly basis.
You can view your web stats at http://<yourdomainname>/webstats.
Alternatively, you can monitor your data transfer overages through your Website management interface. To do so, follow the steps mentioned below:
1. Login to your Control Panel and search for the domain name for which you have purchased this hosting package.
2. In the search results view, click on the domain name. This will take you to the order details view.
3. Click on Manage Web Hosting Service in the lower toolbar.
4. In the Website Management interface pop-up that follows, you will see Usage statistics for your website, which also includes the data transfer (in Mb/month).

10 Aug 10 How do I disable Web Statistics?
If you do not wish to generate a report of your Web based traffic, you can choose to disable the option at any time. Doing this would save the disk space actually utilized for these reports, and could be done if you do not feel it necessary to monitor the usage of your site.
Follow the process mentioned below to disable Web statistics:
1. Login to your Control Panel and search for the domain name for which you have purchased this hosting package. Click here to read how >>
2. In the search results view, click on the domain name. This will take you to the order details view.
3. Click on Manage Web Hosting Service in the lower toolbar.
4. In the Website Management interface pop-up that follows, go to Manage Website -> Web Statistics Manager -> Settings.
5. On this page, you would see the option to Generate Web Stats. Select No from the drop-down adjacent to this option.
This would disable all web traffic reports for your site.
In order to complete the action in case of Linux Hosting, the Web Server needs to be restarted. Random restarts affect other services running on the Server. In order to avoid this, the Server has been scheduled to restart at intervals of 20 minutes. Hence, the change might take upto 20 minutes to be effective.

06 Aug 10 Web Statistics Management Settings
Gossimer gives you the ability to comprehensively customise your Web Statistics reports, to obtain accurate and more pertinent details about your Website. You can customise your reports from your Control Panel itself; follow the process mentioned below to do so:
1. Login to your Control Panel and search for the domain name for which you have purchased this hosting package. Click here to read how >>
2. In the search results view, click on the domain name. This will take you to the order details view.
3. Click on Manage Web Hosting Service in the lower toolbar.
4. In the Website Management interface pop-up that follows, go to Manage Website -> Web Statistics Manager -> Settings.
5. This page allows you to specify the following options, configure them as per your requirement:
- Generate Web Stats: Select YES if you wish to obtain statistics for your website. The statistics are generated on a daily basis.
- Keep Backup of Historic Files: Whenever your web statistics are to be updated, the system overwrites the old (historic) files with the new data. However, if an error is encountered (e.g. if your site runs out of allowed disk space), the file may get corrupt, causing you to lose all old data as well. Selecting this option would keep a copy of the old file for your referral.
- Purge Log File: Your raw log files would be deleted after the statistics are generated, if you choose YES. This would prevent logs from taking up web space.
- Skip Hosts: Choose this option to avoid recording statistics from specific hosts. For example, you might wish not to record statistics for all hits/visits from your own home/office. Specify such hosts or IP addresses here.
- Skip Files: Use this option to avoid recording data for particular URLs. Using this, you can make sure that statistics pertaining to unimportant pages are not recorded.
- Only Files: This is the exact opposite of the previous option. Using this, you can choose to record data only pertaining to specific/important pages.
- Not Page List: Enter a list of file extensions that would be considered only a Hit, and not a Page View.
- Protect Webstats: Password protection for web statistics can be enabled/disabled using this option. This option is available only in case of Windows hosting. Click here to read how to enable password protection for web statistics in case of Linux hosting >>
