An access log includes a record of all of the files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your site. The list is comprehensive, so if you have a page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not just the page. An access log normally contains the date, the OS, the web browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most popular files on your Internet site. The log, that is also frequently referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web stats you usually get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An illustration why you may need this sort of a log is if you wish to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you don't want to use the typical graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website statistics.

Access Log Manager in Shared Website Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs shall be incredibly easy if you purchase a shared website hosting from us. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, provided with all the accounts, has a section dedicated to different logs which is where you will find the access logs too. As soon as you go there, you will see a list of all the domains hosted within the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom made cloud hosting platform will start generating an access log for each of them as soon as you click on the On button, which you will see on the right. If you don't need logs, disabling the option is just as simple and can be accomplished by clicking on the Off button in the same section. All the logs are downloadable, so you can comfortably save and manage them on your desktop computer or laptop.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our sophisticated website hosting platform will generate access logs for each and every site hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as long as this function is permitted. All domains and subdomains that you have will be listed in the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, that we offer with all of the accounts, so if you need our system to start generating logs for any of them, you should just click on the compact button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You'll be able to stop this feature anytime by following the exact same steps. You can find a Download link for each and every log in the exact same section of the Control Panel, so you will be able to save the content produced by our system in .txt format with simply a mouse click. An existing log file can be downloaded even after the function has been disabled, so you'll still be able to check out the data which has already been generated.
