IMPORTANT NOTICE: Urchin Stats Shutdown
On September 2, 2010 Acorn Internet Services announced that we would be shutting down Urchin statistics and offered to convert any clients over to Google Analytics at no charge. Urchin was acquired by Google in April 2005 and their system was used as the basis for Google Analtyics that we all know and love today! Our offer for a FREE Google Analytics install ended on May 1, 2011.
Google is officially discontinuing support for the
Urchin software product on March 28, 2012.
At which point Urchin statistics will no longer be accessible. |
If you are a client that has used Urchin, via Acorn Internet Services, in the past and you have not yet exported the reports that you wish to archive, please Click Here to Watch the Video on How to Export Your Report Data and do so before March 28, 2012.

Free Aspiring and Newbie Classes
 You have a Dream? It doesn’t have to become a Nightmare! As a past innkeeper owner myself, I remember how exciting it was being an Aspiring Innkeeper!

Acorn Internet Services is now offering Aspiring Newbie Webinars, currently at no charge.
