Where can I find my web statistics?

Web statistics generated by AWSTATS can now be found as a subdirectory under your domain. For example:

www.acme.com.au/webstats/

If your domain does not have the "/webstats/" folder configured or you do not have a username and password to access this area please contact support@highway1.com.au.

Please note that personal webspace that is provided free with ADSL and dialup connections does not have web statistics.

Can I install my own third party applications?

Not typically. We recommend a co-located server for this purpose.

How can I put a form on my web page and have the results emailed to me?

Please see our Form Mail Support page for help on how to put a form on your Highway 1 hosted website.

If you would like to take advantage of the personal web space feature of your DSL plan please contact our Service Desk to setup your web account.
