An access log features a record of all the files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your website. The list is detailed, so if you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally includes 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 hottest files on your site. The log, that's also frequently named "raw data", is an addition to the web data that you usually get with a hosting account, not a substitute. One example why you may need this sort of a log is if you would like 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 typical graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website stats.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

If you obtain a shared hosting from us, you will be able to choose if access logs must be produced and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this should be done. You can activate this option from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all shared accounts. Any domain you host or subdomain you create shall be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can effortlessly activate or deactivate the generation of access logs individually for each website that you have. You'll be able to save a log to your laptop or computer by clicking on the Download link that you will see in the same section of the CP. The link shall be available even after you deactivate the log generation, so you shall still have access to the data compiled by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our leading-edge hosting platform shall create access logs for each Internet site hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account, provided that this feature is permitted. All domains and subdomains that you have shall be listed in the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which we provide with all the accounts, so if you would like our system to start creating logs for any of them, you should simply click on the compact button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You'll be able to deactivate this feature at any time by following the very same steps. You can find a Download link for each log inside the exact same section of the CP, so you will be able to save the content generated by our system in .txt format with no more than a click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the function has been disabled, so you will still be able to view the data that's already been generated.
