FlashStats 2006 has been released
FlashStats 2006 is the next generation of web analytics software from Maximized Software. This new version of FlashStats generates 60 reports provides extensive information on visitor activity for your web site, and features an advanced interface providing both power and simplicity.
FlashStats 2006 is a Windows desktop application (rather than a server CGI like FlashStats 1.5). We recommend FlashStats 2006 for most users. FlashStats 1.5 will continue to be sold for those customers who wish to install a server CGI program for use by multiple web sites.

What is FlashStats?
FlashStats goes beyond the offerings of most free website counters to analyze your site's log files and provide comprehensive information about your web traffic. Gain valuable insight into how your web site is being used, and find and fix problems with your site. FlashStats provides the best combination of speed, features, and price when compared with other log file analysis software!
Who Needs FlashStats?
FlashStats is targeted towards the following users:
- ISPs needing to provide web site statistics for their customers
- Webmasters at small- to medium-sized sites
- Users who need to analyze log files provided by their ISP
- Intranet users who need to generate detailed reports, as well as the ability to let other users (management, marketing, etc.) generate web traffic reports
FlashStats gives you to analyze web site statistics about the sites that you host on your server. Great for internal Web sites, corporate Web sites and Web site providers. ISP's can easily configure FlashStats to allow secure access to real-time web traffic statistics for clients.
In addition, if you have a web site hosted on your ISP's web server, FlashStats provides log file analysis for the log files that your ISP provides - at a reasonable price!
Features
FlashStats is loaded with features to help you get the most out of your web site log file analysis:
- The performance leader -- analyze log files at a rate of up to 20 MB per minute!
- Generates 12 different Reports

IMPORTANT NOTE
For individuals with a home page:
If your home page (or full-blown web site) is hosted on someone else's server and you want to run FlashStats, you have two options:
- Have your ISP install FlashStats on their servers so that you can run reports remotely. You can ask your ISP to install FlashStats, or you can send us email with detail about who your ISP is, and we'll be happy to contact them for you.
- Install a personal web server on your computer so that you can run FlashStats locally. You will also need to download your log files from your ISP. The documentation explains how to do all of this.
