An access log includes a record of all of the files which have been requested by the visitors while browsing your Internet site. The list is comprehensive, so if you have a webpage with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally contains the date, the OS, the Internet browser and the IP address for each and every file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most well liked files on your Internet site. The log, that's also typically referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web stats which you normally get with a hosting account, not a substitute. One example why you might need this kind of a log is if you would like to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s general performance, but you do not want to use the regular graphs and tables that come with the server-generated site stats.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

Our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel includes a section focused on various logs and the access logs are among them. Once you sign in to your shared hosting account and navigate to this section, you will find a list of all the domain names and subdomains that you have. All it takes to allow the generation of access logs is to press a button that'll be available next to every single domain/subdomain. If the option is active, you'll see a download link along with the file size so far, so you'll be able to save the file to your computer and view it or process it with some program. Enabling or disabling the logs becomes effective instantaneously, so if you no longer need one, you'll be able to stop it with a mouse click from the same section of the Control Panel. You'll still have the ability to access the already generated content by simply clicking on the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account with us, you shall have the option to trigger or deactivate the generation of access logs with only a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting CP. You shall find this feature inside the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access when you sign in. All it takes for our system to start producing logs is a click on the On button which you will see there. The feature can be enabled individually for any site no matter if it uses a domain name or a subdomain and you will find a detailed list of all the hosts in that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with only a click and you may then look at it manually or use some software on your PC. The log generation may be stopped by simply changing the On option to Off within the Logs section of your Control Panel.
