An access log is a text file that contains a thorough list of all of the files accessed by your website visitors. All the files that were requested in one way or another will be included, so when you have a PHP script program and a website visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you might find plenty of files in the log. The reason is that there are resources on the home page which are embedded - parts of other pages, graphics, etc. All these files shall be listed inside the access log, so you're able to get a detailed 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 contains the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, browser and OS. Additional information, including the referrer Internet site, is sometimes included as well. A log file may be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats created by your server.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

When you opt for one of our shared hosting plans, you shall get detailed access logs for your Internet sites. When you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you can check out the Access/Error Logs section in which you will see a complete list of the domains and subdomains that you've added or created in the web hosting account. You will simply need to click on the On button, that's found on the right-hand side of each hostname and our cloud platform shall start generating logs straight away. To stop this feature, you will need to follow the exact same steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains can be handled separately and whenever you want. You'll find a download link inside the Logs section of the CP for every log created by our system, so you can save the file to your PC and view it or use it with some log processing software.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks to enable the generation of access logs by our system if you require them. The feature can be enabled from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this may be done individually for every single domain or subdomain which you have within your account. After you log in and look at the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you will find a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to each one. A single click shall activate the log generation and a second one will deactivate it, so you can control this function with great comfort. A Download link within the same section will allow you to save the created content as a text file, which you could then use on your notebook or computer. Even if the logs are disabled, you shall still be able to download the data that has been previously generated.
