New partnership with Actual Metrics will provide Urchin by Google Analytics to all customers for $5 per month per server.

October 1, 2007 (TopHosts Newswire) - SoftLayer, a provider of on-demand Web hosting services for small- to medium sized enterprises, announced that it will partner with Actual Metrics to provide Urchin by Google Analytics to its customers.

It will be offered for $5 per month per server. The enterprise-grade website analysis software will provide Webmasters with statistics that detail server and website usage statistics.

“Site administrators gain invaluable insight from observing and tracking how users are engaging with their site,” Matt Chilek, SoftLayer’s Vice President of Development said in a statement issued by the company. “Urchin provides that level of transparency. We’re glad to have it as part of our arsenal for providing SoftLayer customers a level of service and convenience they won’t find anywhere else.”

Urchin provides statistics on a wide number of website usage activities, and works with Windows, Linux and BSD and requires only a 20MB footprint. It is also highly scalable: a single installation can monitor a single site with few page views or hundreds of load-balanced sites with millions of page views.

The software can also use the information it collects to measure the short- and long-term effectiveness of a website’s online marketing campaign, content, and e-commerce initiatives.
