Answer by: Stuart Pierce, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support.

The Advanced Counter tool is available on our Unix-based hosting servers. Here’s how to use the Advanced Counter tool to generate the required web counter HTML code:

1. Start by logging into the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net using your Registration Number and Customer Password.
2. Select Web Hosting from the top navigation bar.
3. Next, select Hosted Domains and click on Manage Hosted Domains.
4. Now, select the hosted domain that you’d like to manage.
5. Click on the Design tab.
6. Next, click the Web Counter icon. You can assign now the Counter attributes and preview in real time all changes in the Counter Preview.
7. In Start Counter At: enter a random number you wish the count to start with.
8. In Text Color: select a color for the count number.
9. In Text Offset: this is the distance in pixels from the right end of the counter field.
10. In Background: select a background picture for the web counter.
11. In Size: select from the two available formats for the web counter.
12. In Count Only Unique Visitors: if checked, only visitors originating from different IP addresses and for a 24 hour period will be added up.
13. In Use Smaller Text: if checked, the count number will use smaller font size.
14. (Optional): You can use the Reset Counter to 0 button if you want to restart the counting of your website visitors.
    

Now, you have to copy and paste the HTML code into your web page file. If you click on Grab Code, the HTML code will be copied to Clipboard.
