I’ve had very few complaints about the host of this site, Ipowerweb. They’re cheap, fairly reliable, and full of features, but I don’t like the fact that they shortened the raw server logs from the current month to the current day. I don’t use them all the time, but they’re nice to have. I especially don’t like that they did this without telling me.
Ipowerweb Shrunk My Server Logs
I’ve had very few complaints about the host of this site, Ipowerweb. They’re cheap, fairly reliable, and full of features, but I don’t like the fact that they shortened the raw server logs from the current month to the current day.

Do they at least keep older logs around in a compressed form?
No, but they run Webalizer on the logs I don’t have access to.
Big deal. They should at least give you a week’s worth of logs, with older ones gzipped. A month would be great.
What do they expect you to do with a day, just use it for debugging purposes?
A day is almost worthless. I used to get a month, which is fine if you’re trying to track down an odd user or an annoying spider.
