An error log is a detailed report of the warnings and error messages that website visitors faced as they were looking through your Internet site. This is the raw data that the server has accumulated and it can help you discover potential problems with your website and handle them in a timely manner, in order to enhance the site’s performance and to increase the users’ total satisfaction. You will find quite a few things in an error log - the time when the error showed up, the specific path to the file which the website visitor couldn't access, the IP the request came from, and the reason this request cannot be processed. There are lots of reasons for your visitors to see an error message - a link which leads to a non-existent file, a script webpage that cannot be processed properly by the web server, a site access attempt by a blocked IP address, and so forth.

When you log in, you need to navigate to the Access/Error Logs section and click on the On/Off button for the website that you intend to keep tabs on. The button is available for every domain name which you have hosted and each subdomain that you have created, so you can get an in depth log for each of them separately, so as to be able to check the sites for problems simplier and easier.
