An access log is a text file which contains a thorough list of all the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another shall be included, so if you have a PHP script application and a site visitor opens only the home page, for example, you may find a lot of files inside the log. The reason is that there are things on the home page that are embedded - parts of other webpages, pictures, and so forth. These files will be listed in the access log, so you're able to get a full picture of the way your website functions. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally described as "raw data" too. An access log provides the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, world-wide web browser and Operating System. More info, including the referrer website, is sometimes provided as well. A log file can be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats created by your web server.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs will be extremely simple when you acquire a shared hosting from us. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, provided with all the accounts, features a section dedicated to different logs which is where you'll find the access logs too. When you go there, you shall see a list of all the domains hosted inside the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform shall start creating an access log for any of them as early as you click on the On button, which you'll see on the right. If you no longer require logs, disabling the option is just as quick and can be done by clicking on the Off button within the exact same section. All of the logs are downloadable, therefore you can effortlessly save and manage them on your PC or notebook.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our state-of-the-art website hosting platform will create access logs for every single site hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, assuming that this function is enabled. All domains and subdomains that you have will be listed in the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, that we offer with all of the accounts, so if you need our system to start generating logs for each 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 could deactivate this feature anytime by following exactly the same steps. You will find a Download link for each log inside the exact same section of the Control Panel, so you will be able to save the content gathered by our system in .txt format with no more than a click. An existing log file may be downloaded even after the feature has been disabled, so you will still be able to see the data that has already been generated.
