An access log includes a record of all the files which have been requested by the visitors while browsing your site. The list is detailed, so when you have a webpage with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log usually includes the date, the Operating System, the web browser and the IP address for each and every file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most popular files on your site. The log, that's also frequently referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you commonly get with a hosting account, not a substitute. An example why you may require this kind of a log is if you want to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you don't want to use the conventional graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website statistics.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting

Our custom Hepsia CP has a section dedicated to various logs and the access logs are among them. As you sign in to your cloud hosting account and visit this section, you shall find a list of all the domain names and subdomains that you have. All it takes to permit the generation of access logs is to click on a button that'll be available next to every single domain/subdomain. If the option is active, you will see a download link as well as the file size so far, so you shall be able to save the file to your PC and examine it or process it with some program. Enabling or disabling the logs becomes effective instantly, so if you no longer need one, you'll be able to stop it with a click from the very same section of the CP. You will still be able to access the already created content by clicking on the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our state-of-the-art web hosting platform shall generate access logs for every single Internet site hosted within a semi-dedicated server account, as long as this function is enabled. All domain names and subdomains that you have will be listed inside the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, that we offer with all the accounts, so if you need our system to start creating logs for any of them, you should just click on the little button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and change the default Off option to On. You may deactivate this function whenever you want by following exactly the same steps. You can find a Download link for each and every log inside the exact same section of the Control Panel, so you could save the content generated by our system in .txt format with only a click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the function has been disabled, so you'll still be able to see the data which has already been generated.
