Effective use of the cPanel or other panels.

[kgun]

1. Are you using your cPanel at all?
2. What are you looking for?
3. Do you collect statitics and analyze them in some software like Excel?

1) With the number of times I've seen security holes in cPanel and the like, I personally modify configuration files by hand. I much prefer that. But if I were to use something like cPanel, I'd close the ports used in the firewall and use ssh tunnels.

2) I'm usually looking for traffic by keyword / phrase, overall conversion rates, convers rate by phrase, dollars per phrase, dollars per unique visitor or some variation of those.

3) Why would I need Excel. Our analytics software allows for some neat custom reports without using Excel. I can sort, change time periods, filter data, etc. all through the analytics software. I think most enterprise analytics software will allow for this. All of the ones I've seen do.

Thank you for a quick reply.

I have not used cPanel extensively myself.

So you think there is nothing uique of value in the cPanel?

I used to make the statistical methods myself, for the Central Bank of Norway and the Central Bureau of Statistics. Methods that were not implemented then.

There are always new methods as science developes. Can take time before they are implemented in commercial software.

But that is perhaps overkill in this regard.

So again thank you.

Are we talking about the same thing here?

I'm really not sure what this has to do with analytics.

How do you define analytics?

The first post in this forum:

Welcome to the web analytics discussion forum. This forum is for the discussion of all things related to web statistics/analytics. Topics will include (but aren't limited to); analytics applications, statistics tracking, best practices, data interpretation, and so forth.

Redirects and mode rewrite etc.

May be these links can help you:

Mod-Rewrite basics and mod_rewrite and Gary Keith's Website where the wheel is invented for you.
