Website statistics

I was wondering what everyone uses for website stats? My hosting company used to have pretty detailed stats but has since merged with another company and now have crappy stats. What do you all use? I would prefer free options as I don't use the stats for anything other than my own curiosity.
Thanks for any suggestions!

There's also www.statcounter.com and www.sitemeter.com.

I use Google Analytics. It's free and the data is sufficient for my needs. It's by 'invitation' only - you have to request to be given access. It took a few months from the time that I requested access for me to be given an account.

My web hosting company provides Webalizer, which is okay. I've used www.statcounter.com for other projects, and find they're pretty comprehensive. I have a PHP-driven site, though, and I don't think Webalizer does a good job figuring that out, since my stats seem much lower than I think (hope) they really are.
