An access log includes a record of all the files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your website. The list is thorough, so in case you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally contains the date, the Operating System, the web browser and the IP address for each 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 named "raw data", is an addition to the web stats which you usually get with a hosting account, not an alternative. An example why you might need this type of a log is if you wish to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you do not want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website stats.

Access Log Manager in Web Hosting

Our custom-built Hepsia CP has a section focused on various logs and the access logs are among them. As you sign in to your web hosting account and take a look at this section, you shall find a list of all the domains and subdomains which you have. All it takes to enable the generation of access logs is to press a button that'll be available next to each domain/subdomain. If the option is enabled, you shall see a download link and also 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 takes effect instantly, so if you don't need one, you can stop it with simply a click from the same section of the CP. You will still have the ability to access the already generated content by simply clicking on the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our advanced website hosting platform shall create access logs for any site hosted within a semi-dedicated server account, assuming that this function is enabled. All domains and subdomains that you have will be listed within the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which we offer with all the accounts, so if you need our system to start producing logs for each of them, you should simply click on the little button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and change the default Off option to On. You'll be able to deactivate this function anytime by following the exact same steps. You can find a Download link for every single log inside the same section of the CP, so you may save the content gathered by our system in .txt format with just a mouse click. An existing log file may be downloaded even after the function has been disabled, so you'll still be able to see the data that has already been generated.
