An access log contains a record of all of the files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your website. The list is detailed, so in case you have a web page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log typically includes the date, the Operating System, the Internet browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the most popular files on your website. The log, which is also commonly referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web stats you typically get with a hosting account, not a substitute. A good example why you could need this sort of a log is if you wish to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you do not want to use the typical graphs and tables which come with the server-generated web statistics.

Enabling or disabling the logs becomes effective right away, so if you no longer require one, you may stop it with simply a mouse click from the exact same section of the Control Panel. You will still be able to access the already developed content by simply clicking the Download link.
