An Activity Stream is a real-time log that records all significant actions and events within your hosting account. Think of it as a detailed timeline showing what's happening behind the scenes.

This feature is crucial for monitoring and security. It helps you:

• Track changes made by you or other users.
• Identify unauthorized access or suspicious activity quickly.
• Troubleshoot issues by seeing a history of actions.

Common events logged in an Activity Stream include:

• File uploads, modifications, or deletions.
• Database creation or user permission changes.
• Login attempts, both successful and failed.
• Installation or removal of applications (like WordPress).

For beginners, regularly checking your Activity Stream is a best practice. It gives you peace of mind and control over your hosted environment. If you notice unfamiliar entries, you can take immediate action, such as changing passwords or contacting support.

In summary, the Activity Stream is your window into account activity, empowering you to manage your website proactively and securely.
