An access log contains a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your site. The list is thorough, so if you have a web page with two embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally contains the date, the Operating System, the browser and the IP address for each and every file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the hottest files on your Internet site. The log, that is also frequently named "raw data", is an addition to the web stats which you usually get with a hosting account, not an alternative. A good example why you could need this kind of a log is if you want to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you do not want to use the regular graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website statistics.

Access Log Manager in Web Hosting

Our custom Hepsia CP has a section dedicated to various logs and the access logs are one of them. As soon as you sign in to your web hosting account and visit this section, you shall find a list of all the domain names and subdomains you have. All it takes to permit the generation of access logs is to click on a button that will be available next to each and every domain/subdomain. If the option is active, you will see a download link along with the file size so far, so you shall be able to save the file to your computer and view it or process it with some app. Enabling or disabling the logs becomes effective immediately, so if you don't require one, you may stop it with simply a mouse click from the very same section of the Control Panel. You will still be able to access the already generated content by simply clicking on the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our advanced hosting platform shall generate access logs for any website hosted within a semi-dedicated server account, assuming that this function is enabled. All domain names and subdomains that you have shall be listed inside 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 generating logs for each of them, you should simply click on the small button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You may deactivate this feature whenever you want by following the very same steps. You'll find a Download link for every single log inside the same exact section of the Control Panel, so you could save the content generated by our system in .txt format with simply a click. An existing log file can be downloaded even after the feature has been disabled, so you will still be able to check out the data that's already been generated.
