June 11, 2008 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting provider DiscountASP.NET (discountasp.net), which recently achieved its third competency in Security Solutions within the Microsoft Gold Partner Program, announced on Tuesday it has added SmarterTools’ (smartertools.com) web analytics tool, SmarterStats to its offerings.
DiscountASP.NET says SmarterStats is “the perfect application for hosting companies and webmasters that want to cost-effectively deliver relevant, accurate and detailed statistics to their customers,” and provides an in-depth understanding of keywords and visitor navigation trends with on-demand website statistics, custom reports, data mining and geographic mapping.
The application itself is similar to other analytics tools, including Google’s free tool, a fact that DiscountASP.NET seems to recognize in its press release. However, SmarterStats provides customers with the ability to measure their website performance and marketing results without having to “spend time and money putting scripts and codes,” like one would with Google’s solution, says the company.
SmarterStats also has several installation configurations, which measure statistics across multiple Windows and Linux servers on local or remote networks, all from one central SmarterStats server.
“With software giants such as Microsoft and Google acquiring DeepMetrix and Urchin, we needed an analytics solution that would fulfill our needs, without exposing our customers’ data to third parties,” says Takeshi Eto, VP of marketing at DiscountASP.NET. “The robust features of SmarterStats coupled with our positive experience with the SmarterMail Windows mail server convinced us that SmarterStats is the best solution for DiscountASP.”
Last week, DiscountASP.NET reported it has launched an invite-only SQL 2008 hosting private beta program, enabling select customer members to test SQL 2008 in a live hosted environment and offer valuable feedback.
