Thanks jeffa :)

I'm partly concerned because the hosting company sets a limit on the number of queries by the hour for the particular package I'm purchasing. Hence, I'm wondering whether that sort of statistics can be saved into a textfile...

    Or to get the best of both worlds, have a cron set up to query the database every x minutes and dump the count to a flat file, you don't get artificially high numbers (in the case that you delete inactive users), and you don't get hit with excess queries.
