An access log features a record of all of the files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your site. The list is thorough, so if you have a webpage with two embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally features the date, the Operating System, the Internet browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most well liked files on your site. The log, which is also frequently referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web stats that you normally get with a hosting account, not a substitute. A good example why you may require this type of a log is if you wish to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you do not want to use the typical graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website stats.

All it takes to allow the generation of access logs is to click on a button that'll be available next to every domain/subdomain. When the option is active, you shall see a download link along with the file size so far, so you will be able to save the file to your PC and examine it or process it with some application. Enabling or disabling the logs takes effect right away, so if you don't require one, you can stop it with simply a mouse click from the same section of the Control Panel. You'll still be able to access the already generated content by clicking on the Download link.
