An access log features a record of all of the files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your site. The list is comprehensive, so when you have a 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 includes the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the hottest files on your Internet site. The log, which is also typically called "raw data", is an addition to the web stats which you commonly get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An example why you might need this kind of a log is if you wish to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you don't want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web stats.

Access Log Manager in Shared Web Hosting

When you get a shared web hosting from us, you'll be able to decide if access logs should be produced and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this should be done. You may activate this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, included 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 effortlessly activate or disable the generation of access logs individually for every site that you have. You can save a log to your computer by clicking on the Download link that you'll see within the exact same section of the CP. The link will be available even if you stop the log generation, so you'll still have access to the data compiled by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host your websites within a semi-dedicated server account with us, you'll have the option to enable or disable the generation of access logs with just a few clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You shall 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 generating logs is one click on the On button that you will see there. The function can be enabled independently for any Internet site no matter if it uses a domain or a subdomain and you'll find the complete list of all the hosts within that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with just a click and you could then view it manually or use some software on your PC. The log generation can be disabled by simply switching the On option to Off in the Logs section of your CP.
