Hit counters

Hi all

Does anyone know where I can get a free hit counter, preferably one that I don't have to signup for, or if I am required to, I wont be getting lots a junk email, the charity I'm helping doesn't want to have to look through lots of junk mail.

I was looking at statcounter.com, but I was unable to find if they'd be bothered with lots of unwanted mail.

Thanks.

what do you need a hit counter for?

check the hits on your server ... it's on the Cpanel ... all the stats you could ever want are there. (or are you on a free webhost?)

Free web host

pity

you can get good hosting for as little as £10-£15 a year .. with your own cpanel and email addresses, hit stats, everything.

anyway ... hope you find a good hit counter

might take a while to get the code through but more than worth the wait

Hit counters make the site seem very amateurish, unless it's absolutely vital you know how many visitors you are recieving, I suggest you don't use them.

Also, don't they record hits, rather than unique visitors? Making the information pretty irrelevant anyway?

Go with Statcounter.

Free, easy to use, can choose to show the counter or not, nice range of statistics etc. You won't get any junk email from them either
