An access log is a thorough list of all the files that were accessed by the visitors of a certain website. Every single file which was requested in some way shall be listed, so if you have one webpage with three embedded graphics, one video and one embedded text file, as an example, the access log will contain a total of 6 entries - one for every of the 6 files which were accessed when the site visitor opened the webpage. A log usually provides the file name and path, the date, plus the visitor’s OS, Internet browser and IP address. In some cases you may also find the referrer websites that sent the visitors to your website. The info that an access log file includes is in human-readable plain text format. It could be processed by special software on a PC and used to write reports on the overall performance of a site, aside from the web statistics your server may have produced.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Website Hosting

When you acquire a cloud website hosting from our company, you will be able to determine if access logs should be generated and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this should be done. You can activate this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all shared accounts. Each and every domain name you host or subdomain you create shall be listed there and you will see an On/Off option next to each one of them, so you can easily trigger or deactivate the generation of access logs separately for every website that you have. You'll be able to save a log to your PC by clicking on the Download link that you shall see in the same section of the CP. The link shall be available even after you deactivate the log generation, so you will still have access to the data collected by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our sophisticated website hosting platform will create access logs for every single website hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account, assuming that this feature is activated. All domain names and subdomains that you have will be listed inside the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which we offer with all of the accounts, so if you'd like our system to start creating logs for any of them, you should simply click on the little button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and change the default Off option to On. You'll be able to disable this function anytime by following the same steps. You will find a Download link for each and every log in the same exact section of the CP, so you will be able to save the content generated by our system in .txt format with just a click. An existing log file can be downloaded even after the option has been deactivated, so you will still be able to look at the data which has already been generated.
