An access log contains a record of all the files which have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your site. The list is thorough, so when you have a webpage with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not just the page. An access log typically features the date, the OS, the Internet browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most well liked files on your website. The log, that's also commonly called "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics that you typically get with a hosting account, not a substitute. An example why you may need such 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 conventional graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web stats.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Web Hosting

When you order a cloud web hosting from our company, you will be able to determine if access logs must be generated and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this should be done. You'll be able to enable this option from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, included with all shared accounts. Every domain you host or subdomain you set up shall be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can effortlessly activate or deactivate the generation of access logs separately for every site that you have. You could save a log to your computer by clicking on the Download link that you will see inside the exact same section of the CP. The link will be available even if you disable the log generation, so you'll still have access to the data collected by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your sites inside a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will have the option to activate or deactivate the generation of access logs with no more than a few mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You shall find this feature inside the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access when you sign in. All it takes for our system to start producing logs is a click on the On button you'll see there. The feature can be activated individually for any Internet site no matter if it uses a domain or a subdomain and you'll find a full list of all the hosts in that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with a click and you may then look at it manually or use some software on your personal computer. The log generation can be deactivated by simply switching the On option to Off within the Logs section of your CP.
