An access log includes a record of all of the files which have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your site. The list is thorough, so when you have a page with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log typically contains the date, the OS, the Internet browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the most well liked files on your Internet site. The log, which is also typically referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics you normally get with a hosting account, not a substitute. One example why you may require such a log is if you wish to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s general performance, but you don't want to use the typical graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website statistics.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

Our custom-built Hepsia CP features a section focused on various logs and the access logs are one of them. Once you sign in to your shared hosting account and take a look at this section, you shall find a list of all the domains and subdomains which you have. All it takes to enable the generation of access logs is to click on a button that'll be available next to every domain/subdomain. When the option is active, you shall see a download link along with the file size so far, so you'll be able to save the file to your computer and view it or process it with some application. Enabling or disabling the logs becomes effective instantly, so if you no longer require one, you can stop it with simply a mouse click from the exact same section of the Control Panel. You'll still have the ability to access the already generated content by simply clicking the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our leading-edge web hosting platform shall create access logs for each Internet site hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account, as long as this feature is activated. All domains and subdomains that you have will be listed in the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which we offer with all the accounts, so if you need our system to start generating 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 can disable this feature anytime by following exactly the same steps. You can find a Download link for each and every log within the 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 mouse click. An existing log file may be downloaded even after the function has been disabled, so you'll still be able to see the data that's already been generated.
