An access log contains a record of all of the files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your website. The list is detailed, so if you have a web page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log typically contains the date, the Operating System, 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 site. The log, that's also frequently referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you usually get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An example why you may require this type of a log is if you would like to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you don't want to use the standard graphs and tables which come with the server-generated web statistics.

Access Log Manager in Web Hosting

If you get a web hosting from our company, you'll be able to choose if access logs have to be generated and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this should be done. You'll be able to activate this option from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, incorporated with all shared accounts. Each domain you host or subdomain you create will be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to every one of them, so you can effortlessly trigger or disable the generation of access logs independently for each website that you have. You'll be able to save a log to your laptop or computer by clicking on the Download link that you will see in the same exact section of the Control Panel. The link shall be available even after you deactivate the log generation, so you'll still have access to the data gathered by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our state-of-the-art hosting platform will create access logs for every single website hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as long as this function is permitted. All domains and subdomains that you have will be listed inside the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, that we provide with all of the accounts, so if you would like our system to start generating logs for any of them, you should simply click on the small button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You'll be able to deactivate this feature anytime by following the exact same steps. You will find a Download link for each log in the same exact section of the CP, so you will be able to save the content generated by our system in .txt format with simply a mouse click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the option has been deactivated, so you will still be able to view the data which has already been generated.
