Most StartLogic users are not aware that the hosting company offer bunch of handy web tools and scripting references. In case you are one of them, check out “CGI and Scripted Language Support” when you logged into StartLogic control panel (vDeck).
Click-Through Tracker
One of my favorite tools on the list is Click-Through Tracker. Using Click-Through Tracker, you get to check how traffic flows through your site.
To start tracking your site click-thru, you’ll need to first create a tracking URL. In the Add a URL section:
- Enter the URL you want to track.
- Enter the name of the link.
- Click Add URL.
- Copy and Paste the tracking code in your web page to track the click throughs.
Sample of the tracking code.
Reporting on Click-Through Tracker
In the URLs Being Tracked section:
- Count – Number of clicks to the URL
- Reset – Click on the Reset link if you want to reset the count of the tracking URL
- Remove – Click on the Remove link to delete the tracking URL to remove the tracking code from your web page

Just a quick note for those who’re planning to use vzPoll feature at Startlogic – the web application is not replaced by Improved Poll Tool. The notice, released on 28/10/2008, is as below:
Improved Poll Tool will Replace vzPoll
As part of our ongoing efforts to provide our customers with the most updated tools available, we will be discontinuing vzPoll and providing an upgraded polling tool.
If you are currently using vzPoll, we recommend you upgrade to Poll Taker, as vzPoll will be discontinued as of November 30, 2008. After November 30, you will not be able to access, edit or analyze polls that you are running with vzPoll, however you will be able to manually remove vzPoll polls from your site.
We regret any inconvenience to you if you actively use vzPoll, but believe that providing an upgraded polling tool will be beneficial to all customers.
If you have any questions, please contact StartLogic support at 800-725-8064.

It’s good to see folks at StartLogic are putting ongoing efforts in upgrading their hosting features. As for one of the latest updates, StartLogic current Mail 3.0 will be upgraded to Mail 4.0. The upgrades will offer a better enhanced mail management options.
