An access log includes a record of all the files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your site. The list is detailed, so when you have a webpage with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally contains 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 most popular files on your Internet site. The log, which is also typically called "raw data", is an addition to the web data you usually get with a hosting account, not a substitute. One example why you may need such a log is if you would like to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you don't want to use the typical graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website statistics.
Access Log Manager in Shared Website Hosting
Enabling the generation of access logs shall be really easy when you buy a shared website hosting from our company. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, supplied with all of the accounts, features a section on different logs and that is where you will find the access logs too. Once you go there, you'll see a list of all the domain names hosted inside the account and the subdomains created for them. Our customized cloud hosting platform will start producing an access log for each of them as early as you click on the On button, which you will see on the right. If you no longer require logs, disabling the option is just as fast and can be carried out by clicking on the Off button in the same exact section. All the logs are downloadable, therefore you can conveniently save and manage them on your desktop computer or laptop.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host your Internet sites inside a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will have the option to trigger or deactivate the generation of access logs with only a couple of mouse clicks inside your Hepsia hosting CP. You shall find this function within the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access when you sign in. All it takes for our system to start generating logs is a click on the On button that you will see there. The feature can be activated independently for any site regardless of whether it uses a domain name or a subdomain and you will find a complete list of all the hosts in that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with simply a click and you could then look at it manually or use some software on your computer. The log generation could be deactivated by simply changing the On option to Off in the Logs section of your CP.
