Sorry. man.. I was thinking to suggest you to try some thrid party tools (e.g. statscounter or reinvigorate)... If you don't want to use any third-party tool then it's okay.. For me, I don't like to develop something that is already available on the net.. you are thinking to read the weblog of your host?? I think that the format of log file might be differ from one host to another..
