This article will explain how you can view and download the log files from your web hosting account.
A server log file is a text document that details everything that has happened within your server during a certain period. Although log files usually state how, when and who has requested a resource from your server (such as a webpage or image) along with the name, location and size of that resource, they’re often used to identify any 404 errors, broken links or suspicious activity from malicious users.
