That's EXACTLY what we do at Clicky - http://getclicky.com

We support the option to host the javascript yourself, but before you can do that, you must check a box that says "I am hosting it myself". This flags that user/site in our database, so whenever we release updates to the javascript, we can automatically notify all of the users that there is a new version available.

We make a lot of minor modifications to the code but usually only announce updates when there are new features in it, or if certain features of the old tracking code may no longer work for some reason (this has never happened so far but I can't guarantee it will always be that way)

PS: I'm the Clicky developer, so that's why I know all this.

Sweet, and a nice API to boot!

For your site limits, how is that counted? We're launching a new service with lots of aliases to essentially the same site (sub domains for different users), but on our server it's just one physical site handling it all. Would that be considered multiple sites in your system? If so, that may not work out (we'd quickly exhaust the 20 in your mega plan), but if not then we may be able use it. Thanks for the link!

PS. Looking at your Roxr page, sounds like you guys are doing pretty well with Clicky -- right on! :)

We can work out a deal for sites like that that just have lots of sub-domains. Just contact us via email if you sign up and need something special like that.
