An access log features a record of all files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your site. The list is thorough, so if you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not just the page. An access log normally contains the date, the Operating System, the Internet browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most well liked files on your website. The log, that is also frequently referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics you commonly get with a hosting account, not an alternative. A good example why you may require such a log is if you intend to use some software on your personal computer 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 website stats.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting

Our custom Hepsia Control Panel has a section dedicated to various logs and the access logs are among them. As soon as you sign in to your cloud hosting account and take a look at this section, you shall find a list of all the domains and subdomains you have. All it takes to enable the generation of access logs is to click on a button which will be available next to each and every domain/subdomain. If the option is enabled, 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 app. Enabling or disabling the logs takes effect instantly, so if you don't need one, you may stop it with only a click from the same exact section of the Control Panel. You shall still be able to access the already created content by clicking on the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your Internet sites within a semi-dedicated server account with us, you'll have the option to enable or disable the generation of access logs with no more than several mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You will find this feature within the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access once you sign in. All it takes for our system to start producing logs is a click on the On button that you'll see there. The feature can be enabled separately for any Internet site regardless if it uses a domain or a subdomain and you'll find the full list of all the hosts in that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with a click and you could then look at it manually or use some software on your computer. The log generation could be stopped by simply changing the On option to Off in the Logs section of your CP.
