An access log contains a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your Internet site. The list is detailed, so in case you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log usually includes the date, the Operating System, the web 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, that's also often called "raw data", is an addition to the web data you commonly get with a hosting account, not an alternative. An illustration why you could need such a log is if you would like to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you don't want to use the conventional graphs and tables which come with the server-generated web statistics.

Access Log Manager in Web Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs will be very easy if you purchase a web hosting from us. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, supplied with all the accounts, has a section on different logs and that is where you will find the access logs too. As you navigate there, you shall see a list of all the domain names hosted inside the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform shall start generating an access log for each of them the instant you click on the On button, which you'll see on the right. If you don't require logs, disabling the option is just as fast and can be done by clicking on the Off button within the same section. All the logs are downloadable, so you can comfortably save and manage them on your desktop computer or notebook.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our sophisticated hosting platform shall create access logs for each and every site hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as long as this function is activated. All domain names and subdomains that you have will be listed within the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which we supply with all the accounts, so if you need our system to start generating logs for any of them, you should just click on the compact button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and change the default Off option to On. You'll be able to disable this feature anytime by following exactly the same steps. You'll find a Download link for every single log in the same section of the Control Panel, so you can easily save the content gathered by our system in .txt format with only a mouse click. An existing log file can be downloaded even after the feature has been disabled, so you will still be able to view the data that's already been generated.
