Host Summary


The Host Summary shows the company or Internet Service Provider from which visitors came to your site. For example, if your main business is with other businesses (Business-to-Business), use this report to identify the companies on which you should focus your marketing and sales efforts.

For each host used by a visitor to your site, the summary displays the host, the last visit, the total time online (the total time the host spent on your Web site), and the number of views and visits (with the percentage of total views and visits).

To display a View Breakdown for a host, click the number of views. To display a Visit Breakdown, click the number of visits.

Note: If the listings in this summary show IP numbers (100.100.100.100) rather than resolved host names (someserver.somedomain.com), you are not currently resolving host names. Most Internet Web servers resolve host names. In other words, they look up the host names for the corresponding IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. Sometimes Web servers are configured to not perform this function. To fix this problem, you can either set your Web server to resolve host names for you or you can select the Resolve host names check box in NetTracker. (For details, see "Resolving Host Names".)
