An access log includes a record of all the files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your Internet site. The list is detailed, so if you have a page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally includes the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for each and every 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's also frequently referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web data that you usually get with a hosting account, not an alternative. One example why you may need this type of a log is if you intend to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you don't want to use the regular graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website statistics.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

If you obtain a shared hosting from us, you shall be able to determine if access logs must be produced and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this must be done. You'll be able to activate this function from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, integrated with all shared accounts. Every single domain you host or subdomain you create will be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to every one of them, so you can conveniently trigger or deactivate the generation of access logs independently for every site that you have. You could save a log to your personal computer by clicking on the Download link that you will see inside the exact same section of the Control Panel. The link will be available even if you stop 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 host your sites within a semi-dedicated server account with us, you'll have the option to activate or deactivate the generation of access logs with just several mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You'll find this feature within the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access after you sign in. All it takes for our system to start generating logs is one click on the On button you'll see there. The function can be enabled separately for any Internet site regardless of whether it uses a domain or a subdomain and you'll find a full list of all the hosts within that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with only a click and you may then look at it manually or use some software on your PC. The log generation may be deactivated by simply switching the On option to Off inside the Logs section of your CP.
