An access log includes a record of all of the files which have been requested by the visitors while browsing your site. The list is detailed, so if you have a webpage with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log typically contains the date, the Operating System, the 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 Internet site. The log, which is also typically referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you commonly get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An example why you might need such a log is if you wish to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you do not want to use the regular graphs and tables which come with the server-generated site statistics.

All it takes to allow the generation of access logs is to press a button which will be available next to each domain/subdomain.
