An access log is a text file which contains a complete report on all of the files accessed by your site visitors. All of the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so when you have a PHP script app and a website visitor opens only the home page, for example, you might find many files in the log. The reason is that there are components on the home page which are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, images, and so forth. These files shall be listed in the access log, so you can get a complete picture of the way your website performs. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently described as "raw data" as well. An access log contains the name of every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, plus the user’s IP address, web browser and OS. Additional information, like the referrer site, is usually provided too. A log file may be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics generated by your web server.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs shall be really simple if you purchase a shared hosting from us. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, supplied with all of the accounts, features a section on different logs which is where you shall find the access logs as well. As soon as you navigate there, you will see a list of all the domains hosted inside the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform will start creating an access log for each of them as early as you click on the On button, which you'll see on the right. If you no longer require logs, disabling the option is just as simple and can be accomplished by clicking on the Off button within the same section. All the logs are downloadable, therefore you can easily save and manage them on your desktop PC or notebook.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks to permit the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The feature can be activated from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and this could be done individually for each domain or subdomain you have inside your account. As soon as you log in and look at the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you will discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to every one of them. One click will trigger the log generation and a second one will disable it, so you can control this feature with great ease. A Download link within the same section will permit you to save the created content as a text file, which you can then use on your computer system. Even when the logs are disabled, you'll still be able to download the data which has been previously generated.
