An access log contains a record of all the files which have been requested by the visitors while browsing your Internet site. The list is comprehensive, so if you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally features the date, the Operating System, the browser and the IP address for every single 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 referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics you typically get with a hosting account, not a substitute. One example why you may need such a log is if you wish to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you don't want to use the regular graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web statistics.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

If you get a shared hosting from our company, you shall be able to choose if access logs should be produced and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this must be done. You could enable this option from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, integrated with all shared accounts. Every domain name you host or subdomain you set up shall be listed there and you will see an On/Off option next to each of them, so you can conveniently enable or deactivate the generation of access logs individually for every website that you have. You may 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 is available even after you stop the log generation, so you'll still have access to the data collected by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you'll have the option to enable or deactivate the generation of access logs with only a couple of clicks within your Hepsia hosting CP. You will find this feature inside the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access once you sign in. All it takes for our system to start creating logs is one click on the On button that you will see there. The feature can be triggered independently for any Internet site no matter if it uses a domain name or a subdomain and you'll find the full list of all the hosts in that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with only a click and you could then see it manually or use some software on your computer. The log generation may be stopped by simply changing the On option to Off inside the Logs section of your CP.
