High quality, yet affordable cPanel Linux hosting!

cPanel Raw Access Interface

The Raw Access interface in your cPanel control panel lets you view who has visited your website without displaying graphics, directly from text files that contain information about your website's visitors which are called "Raw Access Logs".

Please note that this interface allows you to download a .zip file that contains your access log.


Accessing the Raw Access interface

Login to your cPanel control panel using your web browser. Go to 'http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel/' (without the quotation marks). So if your domain name is 'example.com' you should go to 'http://www.example.com/cpanel/' to login to your control panel. The Raw Access interface is in the "Metrics" tab, simply click on the name or the icon to enter.
