website log details

anybody know a very good log software that tells u many things about your website.

hits. referers.amount of time spent on pages. things like that.

preferably free?

AWStats

Many hosts offer this by default (pretty much all of 'em if you use Cpanel)

look sitewiz is the host and its crap.
it was chosen by a client.
not by myself.

i will transfer the domain later but rite now i need it online and i need some other software. sitewiz has dodgy control panel and lets say limited access to the host information.

unless you are willing to pay extra, which i am not.

any suggestions?

Yeah.

AWStats

You can also download it and install it on your own hosting space if you have access to the log files, even if you chose a crappy hosting company.

thanks for that.

do you know what this means, and what it does, and is it useful?

My company uses software called urchin.
http://www.urchin.com I believe it's around $800.

However there is free software which is less intense called webalizer.
