An access log is a text file containing a full list of all the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script program and a site visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you might find numerous files in the log. The reason is that there are things on the home page that are embedded - parts of other webpages, graphics, and so on. All these files will be listed within the access log, allowing you to get a full picture of the way your website performs. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently described as "raw data" as well. An access log contains the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, along with the user’s IP address, world-wide web browser and Operating System. More info, like the referrer website, is oftentimes supplied as well. A log file can be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics provided by your website hosting server.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting

If you obtain a cloud hosting from our company, you'll be able to choose if access logs should be produced and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You could enable this option from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all shared accounts. Every domain you host or subdomain you create will be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can easily enable or deactivate the generation of access logs separately for every single website that you have. You'll be able to save a log to your PC by clicking on the Download link that you'll see within the same section of the CP. The link is available even after you disable the log generation, so you will still have access to the data gathered by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our advanced web hosting platform will generate access logs for each and every website hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, assuming that this feature is permitted. All domains and subdomains that you have will be listed in the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, that we offer with all the accounts, so if you'd like our system to start producing logs for each of them, you should simply click on the small button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and change the default Off option to On. You could disable this feature anytime by following the very same steps. You'll find a Download link for every single log within the same section of the Control Panel, so you could save the content produced by our system in .txt format with only a click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the option has been disabled, so you'll still be able to view the data that has already been generated.
