Can Open Web Analytics run on shared hosting?

Yes, as it is a PHP and MySQL application that needs a cron job, which cPanel supports. Choose a PHP version that meets the current requirement, and expect heavier database use as traffic grows.

How do I install Open Web Analytics on cPanel hosting?

Log in to cPanel, open the Softaculous one-click installer, find Open Web Analytics, and follow the short install form. It usually takes a few clicks and needs no manual file upload or database setup. Afterwards, add the tracking snippet to your site pages.

Does Open Web Analytics support heatmaps?

Yes. The project README lists heatmap and session recording generation among its features, alongside visitor and pageview tracking, e-commerce tracking, geolocation and a REST API. Availability may vary with the version installed.

Is Open Web Analytics free to use?

Yes. Open Web Analytics is open-source software released under the GPL-2.0-or-later licence, so there are no software fees — you only pay for your Hostripples hosting plan.

Can I install other applications on the same plan as Open Web Analytics?

Yes. Every Hostripples cPanel NVMe plan includes the full Softaculous library, so on one account you can run Open Web Analytics alongside other apps in its category (Polls & Analytics), such as LimeSurvey and Matomo, plus hundreds of other applications, subject to your plan's resources. You can add each app on its own domain or subdomain and upgrade to a larger plan at any time.

Which Hostripples plan should I choose for Open Web Analytics?

A moderate application like Open Web Analytics runs comfortably on the Smart or Business plan; you can upgrade whenever your traffic or content grows.

Do you migrate my existing Open Web Analytics site for free?

Yes. We migrate your site for free with all hosting plans.

What is Open Web Analytics?

Open Web Analytics (OWA) is an open-source web analytics tool and an alternative to commercial services such as Google Analytics. It lets you collect and report on how visitors use your website or app while keeping the data under your control. It is written in PHP, stores data in MySQL, and is developed on GitHub.

Common uses

Self-hosted alternative to Google Analytics

Open Web Analytics requirements

PHP: 8.2 or later per the current technical requirements wiki
Database: MySQL 5.7 or later (MariaDB and other MySQL-compatible engines supported)
PHP extensions: pdo_mysql or mysqli, json, mbstring, pcre
One cron job for scheduled maintenance tasks
Apache 2.x is the documented web server

Needs a recent PHP version, MySQL or MariaDB and a cron job, all of which cPanel hosting provides. Analytics write to the database on every tracked visit, so high-traffic sites may need more than shared resources.
