Yes indeed.
The one I like to use lately is http://sitemeter.com/
They email me hit stats every week. I can see entry/exit pages. Pretty cool stats. Some will give you google map-like stats of hits.
Google "Site tracker". There are zillions of them.
I have one host that charges me $2.40 / year with full control panel, 500megs, PHP, 100 email accounts all kinds of stuff.
But for other stuff I go with real hosts for $50/year.
I had a little difficulty teasing out all the details from some of these posts (actually, it is a nice Sunday aftrnoon, and I didn't have the patience to try), but I have found the Shutterfly share site recently as a way to "share" the photos of a recent round trip on my 26X (American Spirit) from Sanford, Florida, to Jacksonville on the St. Johns River. So far I am pleased with the service. I suppose it is more of a place to load your photos, but there is also plenty of opportunity to journal and "share" thoughts" between self and other members. Just a suggestion. It is totally free. http://herschelandannesgrandadventures.shutterfly.com/
