Now Mint 2.0 costs $30 per domain (upgrades from version 1 are $19), but after checking out the screencasts and live demo, you can color me sold. I've been bouncing between using monthly services like SiteMeter and even FeedBurner's new StandardStats for websites, and neither of them hold a candle to the style, extensibility, power and gorgeous design of Shaun's Mint. Besides, I'm always happier paying a lump sum over subscribing, so Mint is going to pay for itself in just a few months anyway.
If you're looking for one of the most impressive web stats packages that you can run on your own servers, Mint looks like a fantastic option.

but Hosting companies don't allow u to have u own stats package installed. they will cancel ur account if u have mint.
U can use sitemeter or google analytics cause they are running on a seperate server.

MySchizoBuddy, that's a very generalized statement. Any respectable hosting provider will look at the performance impact on a case by case basis.

Exactly. *Some* hosting companies will cancel your account, and while I've only heard about situations like that, I would be weary of giving any such company my hard earned cash.
Mint has been around for years and it's developed by a fairly well-known web designer and blogger. It also isn't the only web stats package out there, which means there's a market for them.
