How often are log files deleted?

0

Log files are deleted monthly at 4:07am PST on the 1st of the upcoming month and they are not rotated or archived. If you want to download your raw log files, you should do so before they are deleted each month. This will not affect your Webalizer webstat reports since they will keep old data from month-to-month, even after the log file has been deleted. The reason the log file is deleted monthly is that if they were allowed to grow indefinitely, they would eventually fill up all the free space allocated to your site and then eventually all the free space on the server. This is not a good thing.
