An access log is a detailed list of all the files which were accessed by the guests of a given site. Each and every file that was requested in some way will be listed, so if you have only one webpage with 3 embedded pictures, one video and one embedded text file, for instance, the access log will contain a total of 6 entries - one for any of the 6 files which were accessed when the site visitor opened the page. A log typically shows the file name and path, the date, along with the visitor’s OS, web browser and IP address. Sometimes you could also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your site. The information that an access log file provides 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 functionality of a website, in addition to the web statistics which your hosting server may have generated.

Access Log Manager in Web Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs shall be incredibly easy when you purchase a web hosting from our company. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, supplied with all of the accounts, has a section on different logs and that is where you will find the access logs too. Once you navigate there, you shall see a list of all the domain names hosted within the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform shall start generating an access log for each of them as soon as you click on the On button, which you'll see on the right. If you no longer need logs, disabling the option is just as simple and can be accomplished by clicking on the Off button inside the exact same section. All of the logs are downloadable, which means that you can easily save and manage them on your desktop PC or notebook.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

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