An access log is a thorough list of all the files which were accessed by the guests of a particular website. Each and every file that was requested for whatever reason will be listed, so if you have a single page with 3 embedded pics, one video and one embedded text file, for instance, the access log will contain a total of 6 entries - one for each of the 6 files that were accessed when the visitor opened the page. A log typically contains the file name and path, the date, as well as the visitor’s Operating System, worldwide web browser and IP address. Sometimes you can also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your site. The information an access log file includes is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a laptop or computer and used to write reports on the overall performance of a website, besides the web stats that your hosting server may have produced.

Access Log Manager in Web Hosting

If you buy a web hosting from us, you shall be able to decide if access logs must be created and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this must be done. You'll be able to activate this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, integrated with all shared accounts. Every domain name you host or subdomain you create shall be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can quickly trigger or deactivate the generation of access logs individually for each website that you have. You can save a log to your laptop or computer by clicking on the Download link you'll see inside the same section of the CP. The link will be available even after you disable the log generation, so you'll still have access to the data compiled by our system.

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 permitted. All domain names and subdomains that you have shall be listed inside 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 any of them, you should just click on the little button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You may stop this function at any time by following the very same steps. You can find a Download link for each log in the same exact section of the CP, so you could save the content generated by our system in .txt format with no more than a mouse click. An existing log file can be downloaded even after the feature has been deactivated, so you'll still be able to view the data that's already been generated.
