which Website Stats program is better?

[JCary]

Hi --

My web host, through my personal control panel, gives me a choice of installing 3 different website statistic programs.

1) HTTP-Analyze
2) Website Reporter
3) Wusage

Any suggestions on which one I should install?! They all seem, by description, to vaguely resemble each other.

Thanks,

Joshua

Some of them only upload daily, so check which ones are live.

My webhost, Your-Site.com, gives http-analyze, but I really don't like it.

I personally setup for WebLog to run every hour for me (I have shell access) - it's a CGI script but can't really be run from the browser so you'll need telnet access.

It takes usually under 30 minutes to generate a pretty comprehensive report for the site's entire weblog - pages and pages of useful information organized.

If you have telnet access or can get your host to set it up for you to run automatically, :

I think all hosts with alabanza using http-analyze (at least with hostrocket + cedant)
And IMO, I like it, it's not bad, but not detailed enough!
And I also use FastStat (offline stat generator), very good!! But you need to have access to raw stat file, and I think http-analyze will generate the report online and don't have raw log file! Am I right?
