An access log contains a record of all of the files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your website. The list is comprehensive, so if you have a webpage with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not just the page. An access log usually contains the date, the Operating System, the web browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most well liked files on your Internet site. The log, which is also often called "raw data", is an addition to the web stats that you typically get with a hosting account, not an alternative. A good example why you might need this kind of a log is if you intend to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you do not want to use the conventional graphs and tables which come with the server-generated site stats.

Access Log Manager in Web Hosting

Our custom-built Hepsia CP includes a section dedicated to various logs and the access logs are among them. As you sign in to your web hosting account and navigate to this section, you will find a list of all the domain names and subdomains which you have. All it takes to permit the generation of access logs is to press a button which will be available next to each and every domain/subdomain. In case the option is enabled, you will see a download link as well as the file size so far, so you will 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 instantaneously, so if you no longer need one, you may stop it with just a mouse click from the same section of the CP. You will still have the ability to access the already generated content by simply clicking the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to see comprehensive access logs for any site that you host inside a semi-dedicated server account set up on our progressive hosting platform. Our cutting-edge Hepsia hosting Control Panel will enable you to activate the feature for each and every domain name or subdomain inside the account independently, so you can get logs just for the websites which you want. Once you sign in, you can go to the Access/Error Logs section in which you will find a list of all the domains and subdomains that you've added or created and an On/Off button on the right side of all of them. Triggering or deactivating the generation of access logs is as simple as pressing this button and the change will take effect straight away. You could save the logs in .txt format by clicking on the Download link located in the same exact section. The latter will be available always, even if you deactivate the function for a particular domain address or subdomain.
