An access log is a detailed list of all the files which were accessed by the guests of a certain website. Any file that was requested in some way will be listed, so if you have just one webpage with 3 embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, for example, the access log will contain a total of six entries - one for any of the 6 files that were accessed when the site visitor opened the page. A log normally contains the file name and path, the date, plus the visitor’s OS, worldwide web browser and IP address. Oftentimes you may also find the referrer websites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The information that an access log file features is in human-readable plain text format. It may be processed by special software on a desktop machine and used to write reports on the efficiency of a website, independent of the web stats which your server may have created.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Website Hosting

If you buy a cloud website hosting from our company, you'll be able to determine if access logs should be generated and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this must be done. You can enable this function from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, incorporated with all shared accounts. Each domain you host or subdomain you set up shall be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can effortlessly activate or disable the generation of access logs separately for every single site that you have. You could save a log to your personal computer by clicking on the Download link that you shall see within the exact same section of the CP. The link shall be available even after you disable the log generation, so you will still have access to the data collected by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it will not take more than a few clicks to permit the generation of access logs by our system if you require them. The function could be enabled through the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and this may be done individually for each and every domain or subdomain you have inside your account. After you log in and check out the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you will find a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to each of them. One click shall activate the log generation and another one will deactivate it, so you can control this function with great comfort. A Download link inside the same section will permit you to save the generated content as a text file, that you may then use on your PC. Whether or not the logs are deactivated, you will still be able to download the data which has been previously generated.
