TABLE LAYOUT

  The table "hits" should look somewhat like this:

  +--------+-------------+------+-----+---------------------+-------+
  | Field  | Type        | Null | Key | Default             | Extra |
  +--------+-------------+------+-----+---------------------+-------+
  | term   | varchar(50) |      |     |                     |       |
  | vhost  | varchar(20) |      | MUL |                     |       |
  | uri    | varchar(50) |      |     |                     |       |
  | domain | varchar(20) |      |     |                     |       |
  | date   | datetime    |      |     | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |       |
  +--------+-------------+------+-----+---------------------+-------+

  This is the table "config":

  +--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
  | Field  | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
  +--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
  | domain | varchar(20) |      | PRI |         |       |
