I do not see any application available that tracks the site traffic on a bluemix application. I am currently hosting a Node.js app, that people routinely visit. I want to know the number of visitors to my site but I am seeing no easy way to do this. Any help?
Bluemix does not provide an out-of-the-box solution that tracks visits to a hosted application. You would need to use a 3rd-party analytics tool, such as Google Analytics, or scour the log files.

I have set up a google cloud web app (nodejs 10, standard) but i'm wondering how i can analyse my web traffic. I need to know where visitors are coming from.
I don't want to use a client side tool like google analytic, i need a server-side solution like webalizer.
Is this something that is already available as part of google cloud platform?
Any ideas?
When it comes to web development, I've heard of the terms web hosting and web server being thrown around. What is the difference and when is each used ?
Web hosting in simple term can be explain like like business of housing ,serving or maintaining files for one or more websites.
When Internet users want to view your website, all they need to do is type your website address or domain into their browser. Their computer will then connect to your server and your webpages will be delivered to them through the browser.
How can i identify cloud computing applications? Can i say like Facebook is cloud application ?
This is ma worst doubt.May be the stupid question i ever asked here.
As per my understanding cloud means storing data,processing data etc using the internet. Example in gmail we can access using internet where we can see
inbox,outbox etc like a standalone software. Another example SP sites where we can do so many things.
So can i say Facebook is also cloud since we can store,we can do so many things there..
Please explain.
Example for cloud sites?
Can i say all sites like this site etc are in cloud ?
A cloud application (or cloud app) is an application program that functions in the cloud, with some characteristics of a pure desktop app and some characteristics of a pure Web app. A desktop app resides entirely on a single device at the user's location (it doesn't necessarily have to be a desktop computer). A Web app is stored entirely on a remote server and is delivered over the Internet through a browser interface.
I am porting a website to Microsoft Azure. But our clients are scattered throughout the world, so my intention is to deliver our website as fast as possible to our customers in the US as we do in Germany or China. So I was thinking about something like a CDN on application level for our PHP/Ubuntu-Environment.
I know, there is a CDN implementation for static pages in Microsoft Azure, but I do not have any idea as how to achieve this on the application level.
Thank you in advance.
We are looking to host a website (some css,js, one html file but not aspx, one generic handler).
We deployed in as:
1) Azure Web Site
2) Azure Cloud Service
Both solutions work. There is a question though: which way of hosting it is better and why? Second thing: as there might be a lot of traffic - which solution would be cheaper?
Thanks in advance,

You may want to review this article that explains the primary differences. Web Sites are best for running web applications that are relatively isolated (that do not require elevated security, remote desktop, network isolation...). Cloud services are more advanced because they give you more control over web sites while still remaining flexible. And VMs are for full control over applications that need to be installed and configured (like running SQL Server for example).
I think that main difference in abilities to modify VM and possibility to configure scalability. Web sites is something like classic hosting, without ability to login by rdp. Cloud Services allows you to configure VM and if necessary setup scalability and availability.
