An access log contains a record of all of the files which have been requested by the visitors while browsing your Internet site. The list is comprehensive, so in case you have a webpage with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall 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 each and every file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most popular files on your site. The log, that is also frequently referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you typically get with a hosting account, not a substitute. A good example why you may require this sort of 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 regular graphs and tables that come with the server-generated site statistics.

Access Log Manager in Website Hosting

When you purchase a website hosting from us, you shall be able to determine if access logs have to be generated and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You'll be able to enable this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all shared accounts. Each domain you host or subdomain you create shall 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 every website that you have. You can save a log to your PC by clicking on the Download link that you'll see in the same section of the Control Panel. The link shall be available even if you disable the log generation, so you will still have access to the data gathered by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our advanced web hosting platform will create access logs for every single site hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, assuming that this feature is enabled. All domains and subdomains that you have will be listed within the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, that we provide with all of the accounts, so if you want our system to start generating logs for any of them, you should just click on the little button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You could disable this feature at any time by following the exact same steps. You'll find a Download link for each and every log inside the very same section of the CP, so you will be able to save the content generated by our system in .txt format with no more than a click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the feature has been deactivated, so you'll still be able to check out the data that has already been generated.
