An access log includes a record of all of the files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your Internet site. The list is thorough, so if you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally features the date, the Operating System, the web browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the most well liked files on your Internet site. The log, that is also typically named "raw data", is an addition to the web data that you normally get with a hosting account, not a substitute. An illustration why you may require this type of a log is if you intend to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you do not want to use the regular graphs and tables that come with the server-generated site stats.

Access Log Manager in Web Hosting

Our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel features a section focused on various logs and the access logs are one of them. As you sign in to your web hosting account and visit this section, you shall find a list of all the domains and subdomains that you have. All it takes to enable the generation of access logs is to click on a button which will be available next to each domain/subdomain. When the option is enabled, you'll see a download link along with the file size so far, so you will be able to save the file to your PC and view it or process it with some program. Enabling or disabling the logs becomes effective instantly, so if you no longer need one, you may stop it with only a click from the same section of the Control Panel. You shall still have the ability to access the already created content by simply clicking on the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host your Internet sites within a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will have the option to enable or disable the generation of access logs with no more than a few clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You will find this feature in the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access as soon as you sign in. All it takes for our system to start producing logs is a single click on the On button you'll see there. The function can be enabled independently for any site regardless if it uses a domain or a subdomain and you shall find the full list of all the hosts inside that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with only a click and you may then view it manually or use some software on your laptop or computer. The log generation can be deactivated by simply switching the On option to Off inside the Logs section of your Control Panel.
