You can track as many websites as you like that are hosted on the same server as Piwik, or hosted on several external servers. Only the server that hosts Piwik needs to run PHP and MySQL. You can create new websites by going to the admin area when logged in as Super User, and get the javascript tracking code to install on the websites you wish to track. For example, consider the following use case: – You have a website built in Java hosted on server1 – You have a website built in Python hosted on server2 – You can install Piwik on server3, and track visits from the two other websites Note about https: Piwik automatically detect if the page being tracked is https (SSL) and would include the piwik.js in secure mode from your Piwik server.
