Access to raw log files

If the statistics from Webalizer are not enough for you or you would like to have any special calculations, use HOSTEX's "Access to raw log files" service. This service is simple. Access log files of your virtual server will be copied to /logs directory once per day. You will get two types of logs - access_log and error_ log. Please note that if your website has a lot of visitors access log files could get very large very quickly and increase your diskspace consumption and subsequently increase your monthly invoice.

Files with extension .log are live log files and can not be deleted. Access logs are rotated at 0:00 AM every day, error logs are rotated at 0:00 AM GMT on Sunday. When logs are rotated the contents of live log files are appended to the files with the extension .log-save. You can download those files to perform your own log file analysis and delete them from your virtual server if they take up too much diskspace.

The access_log file keeps track of the information that is being requested, who made the request, and how your virtual server handled it. The error_log file records any error messages that were returned by your Web server, along with information about the cause of the error. This information is very valuable in helping you to discover incorrect links to your Web site, and in debugging any CGI programs that you are trying to use.
