Setting Up And Using Weblogs

Glossary Items:

WebLogs is an invaluable tool for analyzing the traffic at your website. Before accessing your Weblog data, you must create a magic directory, transfers/log, within your FTP site. Unfortunately, data to your website cannot be logged before the transfers/log file is established. Ideally, you should set up your transfers/log file as soon as your domain is active and your web files have been uploaded.

  1. Login to your FTP site
  2. Create a transfers directory
  3. Within transfers, create a log directory

Cape.Com's web servers deposit the day's weblog data into your log directory every evening, so you'll have to wait a day before you can access your stats for the first time. (Note: To collect raw web server access logfiles, create a transfers/web directory. To collect raw ftp server access logfiles create a transfers/ftp directory.

Accessing Weblogs

Basic FTP/Web Sites

  1. Determine the machine name of your FTP site, e.g., vsa.cape.com, vsb.cape.com, etc.
  2. Using your web browser, head to http://www.machine name/stats - For example:
    • If your machine name is vsd.cape.com, head to http://www.vsd.cape.com/stats
  3. Enter your username and password

Virtual Hosting

If your site is Virtually Hosted:

  1. Using your web browser, head to http://www.your-domain-name/stats - For example:
    • If your domain name is bedrock.com, head to http://www.bedrock.com/stats
  2. Enter your username and password

How Storage Amounts are Calculated

All of our hosting plans include a certain amount of storage space. In most cases, users never exceed these totals, however, you're free to use as much as you like beyond these totals. Storage totals are tallied by calculating the total amount of disk usage that your site consumes, excluding Weblog data storage. However, users that have created a transfers/web directory within their site to gather the raw web server access logs should periodically download these files, then remove them from their site. By keeping the amount of storage in this directory to a minimum, users will minimize any excess storage charges.
