I there a way to find out how many hits/visitors I have had to my
website since it was created? I have access to cPanel, but that (Awstats
and Webalizer)seem to limit it to 2020 onward. I created the website
sometime after I retired in 2000, and had two or three different hosts
during that time.

Is your expectation that one tracking method(app/service) will find all 'hits/visits' for two or three different hosting services?
Afaik, analytics data compiled by CPanel is provided by the current
hosting server, not the prior servers.
-i.e. if cPanel was used on the prior server, use of cPanel on the new server resets the counter to the point in time the(your) web site
finished propagation to the new host

I thought that might be the case. Ill check with my current server as to
why it seems limited to the last six years.
Thx

They probably updated their platform then and didn't transfer over the previous system's data.
You may be better off using a third party analytics like google.

I am not a business, just a simple website: jimscott co uk. Google seems
to be for businesses.
