An access log includes a record of all of the files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your website. The list is thorough, so when you have a page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally features the date, the OS, the Internet browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the hottest files on your site. The log, which is also commonly referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web data you normally get with a hosting account, not a substitute. An example why you might need such a log is if you wish to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you do not want to use the typical graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website stats.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Web Hosting

If you buy a cloud web hosting from our company, you will be able to choose if access logs have to be created and for which domains or subdomains in your account this should be done. You could enable this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all shared accounts. Each and every domain name you host or subdomain you create shall be listed there and you will see an On/Off option next to every one of them, so you can easily trigger or disable the generation of access logs separately for every single site that you have. You'll be able to save a log to your PC by clicking on the Download link you'll see inside the very same section of the Control Panel. The link will be available even if you stop the log generation, so you shall still have access to the data gathered by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it shall not take more than a couple of clicks to permit the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The feature can be permitted through the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this could be done separately for each and every domain name or subdomain that you have within your account. Whenever you log in and visit the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you will discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to each one. A single click will enable the log generation and another one shall disable it, so you can control this feature with great simplicity. A Download link inside the same section will enable you to save the compiled content as a text file, that you may then use on your laptop or computer. Even when the logs are disabled, you'll still be able to download the data that's been previously generated.
