An access log is a text file containing an extensive report on all the files accessed by your site visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script program and a site visitor opens just the home page, for example, you may find a lot of files in the log. This is because there are components on the home page which are embedded - parts of other web pages, pics, etc. All these files shall be listed in the access log, so you're able to get a detailed picture of the way your Internet site performs. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally called "raw data" too. An access log shows the name of every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, world-wide web browser and OS. Additional information, such as the referrer site, is sometimes supplied as well. A log file could be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats generated by your web server.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting from us, you shall be able to determine if access logs must be produced and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You'll be able to activate this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, incorporated with all shared accounts. Each domain you host or subdomain you create will be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to each one of them, so you can conveniently trigger or disable the generation of access logs separately for each website that you have. You'll be able to save a log to your computer by clicking on the Download link that you shall see in the exact same section of the CP. The link will be available even after you disable the log generation, so you will still have access to the data gathered by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it will not take more than several clicks to permit the generation of access logs by our system if you require them. The function may be enabled via the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this can be done separately for each domain or subdomain that you have in your account. When you log in and visit the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you'll discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to every one of them. One click shall activate the log generation and a second one will deactivate it, so you can control this feature with great simplicity. A Download link within the same section will permit you to save the created content as a text file, that you could then use on your personal computer. Even if the logs are deactivated, you will still be able to download the data that's been previously generated.
