End of Life For Cloud Web Stats
Due to Google discontinuing the Urchin product, our upstream cloud hosting provider Rackspace has informed us that they will be discontinuing the web statistics on Cloud Sites.
If you are using Web Stats 6 in your cloud control panel to measure your website metrics. you will need to transition to a different web analytics system within the next six months.
We continue to recommend using the free Google Analytics service, which also provides live statistics where the Urchin stats did not. If you are using WordPess you can install Jetpack which comes with WordPress stats.
