VPS and Dedicated customers wanting to upgrade will be getting details on how to do so at a discounted price soon.
The latest version of SmarterTools introduces a variety of new features and bug fixes, including:
- Enhanced Reports - Reporting is now based after the STReportingFramework for improved speed and flexibility. More than 30 new reports have been added-bringing the total number of available reports to more than 100.

Reporting is now separated between real visitor data and spider/bot traffic. New spider report items have been added for a total of 15 spider report items.
- Additional Geographic Items and Reports - SmarterStats provides the ability to visually see website performance graphically and to allow the identification of markets across borders and without boundaries. New geographic report items (including breakdowns by city) have been added for a total of 18 geographic report items.
