An access log features a record of all the files that have been requested by the visitors while browsing your website. The list is thorough, so when you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not just the page. An access log usually contains the date, the Operating System, the web browser and the IP address for each and every file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most popular files on your site. The log, that's also frequently called "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics you usually get with a hosting account, not a substitute. An example why you might need such a log is if you want to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you do not want to use the typical graphs and tables which come with the server-generated site stats.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

Our custom Hepsia Control Panel includes a section dedicated to various logs and the access logs are among them. As soon as you sign in to your shared hosting account and go to this section, you shall find a list of all the domains and subdomains which you have. All it takes to allow the generation of access logs is to click on a button which will be available next to every domain/subdomain. When the option is enabled, you shall see a download link as well as the file size so far, so you'll be able to save the file to your personal computer and examine it or process it with some app. Enabling or disabling the logs takes effect instantaneously, so if you don't require one, you could stop it with just a click from the same section of the CP. You shall still have the ability to access the already generated content by simply clicking on the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our leading-edge hosting platform shall create access logs for every website hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, provided that this function is enabled. All domains and subdomains that you have will be listed inside the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which we provide with all of the accounts, so if you would like our system to start generating logs for any of them, you should just click on the compact button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You'll be able to disable this feature whenever you want by following the very same steps. You can find a Download link for each and every log in the exact same section of the Control Panel, so you may save the content generated by our system in .txt format with just a mouse click. An existing log file may be downloaded even after the option has been deactivated, so you'll still be able to check out the data that has already been generated.
