You set it to run once per day against the logs for that website... 
normally around midnight. The loads aren't that bad. The reporting I 
think defaults to 12 months of stored data which is stored normally in a 
directory in the web root for that website. That directory of course can 
be protected by something like htaccess.

Most of the old hit counters counted 'hits' instead of pages. So if a 
page had the text document and 9 graphics they counted as 10 'hits', 
not  1 'page view'. It has been maybe 6 or 8 years since I've bothered 
to look at these counters as they are pretty much antiques now.
