An error log is a detailed report of the warnings and error messages that website visitors came across when they were surfing your website. This is the raw data that the server has produced and it could help you locate potential problems with your Internet site and solve them in a timely manner, as a way to improve the site’s performance and to increase the users’ total satisfaction. You will find several things within an error log - the time when the error occurred, the specific path to the file that the visitor can't access, the IP address the request came from, and the reason this request could not be processed. There are numerous reasons for your website visitors to see an error message - a link leading to a non-existent file, a script webpage that can't be processed in the right way by the server, a website access attempt by a blocked IP address, etc.

When you log in, you need to go to the Access/Error Logs section and click on the On/Off button for the website that you intend to monitor. The button is available for every single domain name that you have hosted and each subdomain that you have created, so you can get an in depth log for each of them individually, as a way to be able to check the sites for problems much easier. A second click on the same exact button shall disable the function, but you will still be able to get the log by clicking on the Download link, that is available within the same section. If needed, you can use software on your personal computer to process the raw hosting server information for statistical purposes.
