An access log is a text file that contains an extensive report on all of the files accessed by your website visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so if you have a PHP script app and a site visitor opens only the home page, for example, you may find numerous files in the log. The reason is that there are things on the home page which are embedded - parts of other web pages, pics, and so on. All these files shall be listed within the access log, so you can get a full picture of the way your site performs. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are often called "raw data" too. An access log shows the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, web browser and Operating System. More info, such as the referrer site, is oftentimes supplied too. A log file could be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics generated by your website hosting server.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

If you opt for one of our shared hosting packages, you shall get thorough access logs for all your websites. Once you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you can go to the Access/Error Logs section in which you will see an extensive list of the domain names and subdomains you have added or created within the hosting account. You'll only have to click on the On button, which is located on the right-hand side of every hostname and our cloud platform will start generating logs immediately. To stop this function, you'll have to follow the very same steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains could be handled independently and whenever you want. You will find a download link inside the Logs section of the Control Panel for every log created by our system, so that you can save the file to your computer system and view it or use it through some log processing software.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it shall not take more than a few clicks to activate the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The feature may be permitted through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and this may be done independently for every single domain name or subdomain that you have inside your account. After you log in and check out the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you'll discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to each one. One click shall activate the log generation and a second one shall disable it, so you can control this feature with great simplicity. A Download link in the same section will permit you to save the created content as a text file, that you may then use on your PC. Whether or not the logs are disabled, you will still be able to download the data that's been previously generated.
