An access log includes a record of all the files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your Internet site. The list is thorough, so in case you have a page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log usually features 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 good idea about the most popular files on your website. The log, that's also commonly named "raw data", is an addition to the web stats you typically get with a hosting account, not an alternative. An illustration why you might need this sort of a log is if you wish to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you do not want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated site stats.

Access Log Manager in Shared Website Hosting

Our custom Hepsia Control Panel has a section focused on various logs and the access logs are among them. Once you sign in to your shared website hosting account and navigate to this section, you will find a list of all the domains and subdomains that you have. All it takes to enable the generation of access logs is to click on a button that will be available next to every single domain/subdomain. When the option is enabled, you shall see a download link as well as the file size so far, so you shall be able to save the file to your laptop or computer and view it or process it with some program. Enabling or disabling the logs takes effect instantaneously, so if you no longer need one, you may stop it with just a click from the same section of the CP. You'll still have the ability to access the already created content by simply clicking on the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our state-of-the-art web hosting platform will generate access logs for any Internet site hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, provided that this feature is permitted. All domains and subdomains that you have shall be listed inside the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, that we supply with all of the accounts, so if you need our system to start creating 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 can deactivate this feature anytime by following the exact same steps. You can find a Download link for every single log in the same section of the Control Panel, so you can save the content generated by our system in .txt format with simply a mouse click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the function has been deactivated, so you will still be able to check out the data that has already been generated.
