An access log includes a record of all the files that have been requested by the visitors while browsing your website. The list is thorough, so in case 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 features the date, the Operating System, the browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the hottest files on your Internet site. The log, which is also often named "raw data", is an addition to the web stats you usually get with a hosting account, not an alternative. An illustration why you could need this kind of a log is if you want to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you do not want to use the regular graphs and tables that come with the server-generated site stats.

Access Log Manager in Shared Website Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs will be very simple when you acquire a shared website hosting from our company. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, supplied with all the accounts, has a section dedicated to different logs and that is where you shall find the access logs too. Once you navigate there, you shall see a list of all the domain names hosted inside the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform will start creating an access log for any of them the instant you click on the On button, that you will see on the right. If you don't require logs, disabling the option is just as quick and can be accomplished by clicking on the Off button inside the same exact section. All of the logs are downloadable, which means that you can effortlessly save and manage them on your desktop PC or laptop.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks to permit the generation of access logs by our system if you require them. The feature could be enabled from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and this may be done independently for each domain name or subdomain you have inside your account. When you log in and visit the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you'll find a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to every one of them. One click will activate the log generation and another one will deactivate it, so you can control this feature with great convenience. A Download link within the same section will permit you to save the compiled content as a text file, that you could then use on your notebook or computer. Whether or not the logs are disabled, you will still be able to download the data which has been previously generated.
