An access log is a text file containing a thorough list of all of the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All of the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script app and a website visitor opens only the home page, for example, you might find a lot of files inside the log. It is because there are things on the home page that are embedded - parts of other web pages, graphics, and so on. These files shall be listed inside the access log, allowing you to get a full picture of the way your Internet site functions. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are sometimes termed "raw data" as well. An access log contains the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, plus the user’s IP address, world-wide web browser and OS. Additional information, such as the referrer website, is usually included too. A log file could be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats generated by your hosting server.

Access Log Manager in Website Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs will be incredibly easy if you acquire a website hosting from our company. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, included with all of the accounts, has a section on different logs which is where you shall find the access logs as well. As soon as you navigate there, you shall see a list of all the domain names hosted in the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform shall start producing an access log for each of them as early as you click on the On button, that you will see on the right. If you no longer require logs, disabling the option is just as easy and can be done by clicking on the Off button within the same exact section. All of the logs are downloadable, therefore you can easily save and manage them on your desktop computer or notebook.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it will not take more than several mouse clicks to permit the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The feature may be permitted from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and this could be done independently for every single domain name or subdomain you have inside your account. After you log in and navigate to the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you'll discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to every one of them. A single click shall activate the log generation and a second one will disable it, so you can control this function with great ease. A Download link within the same section will permit you to save the gathered content as a text file, which you may then use on your notebook or computer. Even if the logs are disabled, you shall still be able to download the data which has been previously generated.
