An access log contains a record of all of the files which have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your website. The list is detailed, so in case you have a web page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log usually features the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most popular files on your site. The log, which is also often referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web data that you commonly get with a hosting account, not a substitute. A good example why you might need this type of a log is if you want to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you don't want to use the typical graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web stats.
Access Log Manager in Website Hosting
When you pick one of our website hosting plans, you will receive detailed access logs for your Internet sites. As soon as you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you can go to the Access/Error Logs section in which you will see a complete list of the domain names and subdomains which you have added or created inside the web hosting account. You'll simply have to click on the On button, that is located on the right-hand side of every hostname and our cloud platform shall start generating logs right away. To disable this function, you'll need to follow the very same steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains can be managed individually and at any time. You'll find a download link inside the Logs section of the CP for every log created by our system, so that you can save the file to your desktop or notebook and view it or use it via some log processing software.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it shall not take more than several mouse clicks to trigger the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The function may be permitted via the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this may be done individually for each and every domain name or subdomain which you have within your account. After you log in and look at the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you will see a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to all of them. One click will trigger the log generation and a second one shall deactivate it, so you can control this feature with great efficiency. A Download link inside the same section will enable you to save the created content as a text file, which you could then use on your computer system. Even if the logs are disabled, you will still be able to download the data that's been previously generated.
