How do I Password-protect my Website Statistics?
erDomain.com provides
you the ability to password protect your Web traffic statistics to ensure that only authorized people have access to this
data.
Enabling Password Protection
- Login to your
Control Panel and search for the domain name for which you have purchased
this hosting package.
Click here to read
how >>
- In the search results view, click on the
domain name. This will take you to the order details view.
- Click on Manage Web Hosting Service
in the lower toolbar.
- In the Website Management interface pop-up
that follows, go to Manage Website -> Web Statistics Manager -> Password
Protect.
- In the Enable
Password Protection dropdown, set the option to Yes.
- Provide the Username and Password, and click
on Submit.
This would ensure that every request for access
to the Web Statistics report would be prompted for the Username/Password.
IMPORTANT
In case of Windows hosting, Password
Protection can be enabled by setting the Protect Webstats option to
Yes in the Modify Web Stats Options page, which can be
accessed through the Manage Website -> Web Statistics Manager ->
Settings menu. The Primary FTP user login/password needs to be
used for accessing the web statistics.
Modifying access details for Web Statistics:
- Perform steps 1-4 mentioned in the above
process.
- Modify the Username and/or Password, and click on
Submit.
The new username/password now needs to be used
while accessing Web Statistics.
IMPORTANT
In case of Windows hosting, password for
accessing web statistics can be modified by changing the password of the
Primary FTP user. The username cannot be modified since it is not
possible to modify the username of the Primary FTP user.
Disabling Password Protection:
- Perform steps 1-4 mentioned in the above
(enabling password protection) process.
- In the Enable
Password Protection dropdown, set the option to No.
- Click on Submit button.
IMPORTANT
In case of Windows hosting, Password
Protection can be disabled by setting the Protect Webstats option to
No in the Modify Web Stats Options page, which can be accessed
through the Manage Website -> Web Statistics Manager -> Settings
menu.
IMPORTANT
In order to complete the action in case of
Linux Hosting, the Web Server needs to be restarted. Random restarts
affect other services running on the Server. In order to avoid this, the
Server has been scheduled to restart at intervals of 20 minutes. Hence, each
one of the above mentioned actions might take upto 20 minutes for
completion.
