An access log contains a record of all files which have been requested by the visitors while browsing your site. The list is detailed, 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 features the date, the OS, the Internet browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most popular files on your Internet site. The log, that is also often called "raw data", is an addition to the web data you normally get with a hosting account, not an alternative. One example why you might need this sort of a log is if you intend to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you do not want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website stats.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

Our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel includes a section dedicated to various logs and the access logs are among them. Once you sign in to your shared 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 press a button that will be available next to each and every domain/subdomain. In case the option is enabled, you'll see a download link and also the file size so far, so you'll be able to save the file to your personal computer and examine it or process it with some application. Enabling or disabling the logs takes effect instantaneously, so if you no longer require one, you could stop it with just a click from the same section of the Control Panel. You'll still be able to access the already generated content by simply clicking the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our advanced hosting platform shall generate access logs for any Internet site hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, provided that this feature is permitted. All domain names and subdomains that you have shall be listed within the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, that we provide with all of the accounts, so if you need our system to start creating logs for each of them, you should simply click on the compact button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You may disable this feature at any time by following the exact same steps. You'll find a Download link for every single log in the same exact section of the CP, so you may save the content produced by our system in .txt format with just a mouse click. An existing log file may be downloaded even after the function has been deactivated, so you'll still be able to view the data which has already been generated.
