If your site has dynamic (server-generated) content, then spidering it
provides better indexing support than reading the files. Also, it allows
the indexer to know which files are publicly available and which are
protected (so protected files don't show up in search results). You'd
need to ask your hosting provider if they are indexing the site though.
If your site is very low traffic and all the requests are the same page,
it's possible that the hosting company is using one of your pages (like
the home page) to do a live check. Commonly this is done with a
dedicated page (e.g. http_ping.html) that you can exclude from your
stats reports.

Suddenly I've noticed a great number of hits from my own web hosting
service. This is the first time I see that. As far as I know, they are not
an internet provider. I thought that I might be creating those hits somehow,
but I don't see how. All my visits to my own website should show up as my
DSL provider. Could it be that my hosting service is just spidering my site?
They wouldn't need to, cause they have the files! Any ideas?
