An access log includes a record of all the files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your site. The list is thorough, so when you have a web page with two embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not just the page. An access log normally features the date, the OS, the web browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most well liked files on your website. The log, that is also commonly referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web stats which you usually get with a hosting account, not a replacement. One example why you might need such a log is if you want to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you do not want to use the regular graphs and tables that come with the server-generated site statistics.

Access Log Manager in Hosting

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

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our advanced website hosting platform will generate access logs for every website hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, provided that this function is enabled. All domains and subdomains that you have will be listed inside the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, that we supply with all of the accounts, so if you'd like our system to start creating logs for any of them, you should just click on the small button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You could deactivate this feature anytime by following the very same steps. You will find a Download link for each and every log in the very same section of the Control Panel, so you could save the content gathered by our system in .txt format with no more than a click. An existing log file may be downloaded even after the function has been deactivated, so you'll still be able to check out the data which has already been generated.
