An access log includes a record of all of the files which have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your Internet site. The list is comprehensive, so if you have a web page with two embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log normally includes the date, the OS, the web browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most well liked files on your Internet site. The log, that is also frequently referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics you commonly get with a hosting account, not a substitute. One example why you may require such a log is if you want to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you don't want to use the typical graphs and tables that come with the server-generated site stats.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Web Hosting

Our custom-built Hepsia CP has a section focused on various logs and the access logs are one of them. As you sign in to your cloud web hosting account and navigate to this section, you'll find a list of all the domain names and subdomains that you have. All it takes to enable the generation of access logs is to press a button that will be available next to each and every domain/subdomain. If the option is enabled, you shall see a download link and also the file size so far, so you'll be able to save the file to your PC and examine it or process it with some program. Enabling or disabling the logs takes effect immediately, so if you don't need one, you can stop it with simply a mouse click from the very same section of the CP. You will still be able to access the already generated content by simply clicking the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our state-of-the-art hosting platform will create access logs for each site hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account, assuming that this feature is enabled. All domain names and subdomains that you have will be listed within the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, that we supply with all of the accounts, so if you would like our system to start producing logs for each of them, you should just click on the small button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and change the default Off option to On. You'll be able to disable this feature whenever you want by following the exact same steps. You will find a Download link for each log inside the very same section of the CP, so you may save the content produced by our system in .txt format with only a click. An existing log file may be downloaded even after the option has been disabled, so you will still be able to look at the data that's already been generated.
