An access log is a text file that contains a thorough report on all the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so if you have a PHP script app and a site visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you may find many files in the log. The reason is that there are elements on the home page that are embedded - parts of other web pages, pictures, etc. All these files will be listed within the access log, so you can get a detailed picture of the way your website functions. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are sometimes referred to as "raw data" as well. An access log shows the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, along with the user’s IP address, Internet browser and Operating System. More info, including the referrer website, is sometimes provided as well. A log file can be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics created by your website hosting server.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Website Hosting

When you opt for one of our cloud website hosting packages, you will get comprehensive access logs for your websites. Once you sign in to your Hepsia CP, you can go to the Access/Error Logs section where you will see an extensive list of the domains and subdomains that you have added or created in the web hosting account. You'll simply need to click on the On button, that is located on the right-hand side of every hostname and our cloud platform shall start generating logs right away. To stop this function, you'll need to follow the exact same steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains can be handled individually and whenever you want. You will find a download link within the Logs section of the Control Panel for any log generated by our system, allowing you to save the file to your laptop or computer and view it or use it via some log processing software.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it won't take more than a couple of mouse clicks to permit the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The feature could be activated through the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this could be done independently for each and every domain or subdomain which you have in your account. Whenever you log in and visit the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you will see a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to all of them. A single click will activate the log generation and a second one will disable it, so you can control this feature with great ease. A Download link inside the same section will allow you to save the generated content as a text file, that you can then use on your personal computer. Whether or not the logs are deactivated, you shall still be able to download the data which has been previously generated.
