An access log contains a record of all the files that have been requested by the visitors while browsing your site. The list is detailed, so in case you have a page with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log typically features the date, the Operating System, the Internet browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the hottest files on your Internet site. The log, that is also often called "raw data", is an addition to the web data which you usually get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An illustration why you could need this sort of a log is if you want to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you don't want to use the regular graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website statistics.

Access Log Manager in Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs shall be incredibly simple if you buy a hosting from us. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, included with all of the accounts, has a section dedicated to different logs which is where you'll find the access logs as well. Once you navigate there, you'll see a list of all the domains hosted inside the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom made cloud hosting platform shall start producing an access log for any of them the instant you click on the On button, which you will see on the right. If you don't require logs, disabling the option is just as fast and can be done by clicking on the Off button within the exact same section. All of the logs are downloadable, therefore you can effortlessly save and manage them on your desktop PC or notebook.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it won't take more than several mouse clicks to activate the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The feature could be enabled via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and this could be done independently for each and every domain or subdomain that you have within your account. As soon as you log in and check out the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you will find a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to each one. One click will activate the log generation and a second one will disable it, so you can control this function with great simplicity. A Download link within the same section will enable you to save the generated content as a text file, that you may then use on your personal computer. Whether or not the logs are deactivated, you'll still be able to download the data that's been previously generated.
