An access log features a record of all of the files which have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your Internet site. The list is comprehensive, so when you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log typically includes the date, the Operating System, the web browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the most popular files on your site. The log, that is also typically called "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics you typically get with a hosting account, not a substitute. An example why you could need this sort of a log is if you want to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you don't want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated site statistics.

Access Log Manager in Hosting

If you opt for one of our hosting packages, you will get thorough access logs for all of your sites. Once you sign in to your Hepsia CP, you can check out the Access/Error Logs section in which you will see a full list of the domains and subdomains you have added or created in the hosting account. You will only have to click on the On button, which is located on the right-hand side of each and every hostname and our cloud platform will start generating logs immediately. To disable this feature, you will have to follow the very same steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains could be managed independently and at any time. You will find a download link inside the Logs section of the CP for any log generated by our system, so that you can save the file to your laptop or computer and view it or use it through some log processing software.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it shall not take more than a couple of mouse clicks to trigger the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The function could be activated via the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this may be done separately for each and every domain or subdomain that you have inside your account. After you log in and navigate to the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you'll discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to each of them. A single click shall enable the log generation and another one will deactivate it, so you can control this feature with great efficiency. A Download link within the same section will allow you to save the created content as a text file, which you could then use on your computer system. Whether or not the logs are disabled, you shall still be able to download the data which has been previously generated.
