An access log features a record of all of the files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your website. The list is detailed, so in case you have a page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log normally includes the date, the OS, the web browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most well liked files on your website. The log, which is also frequently referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web stats which you normally get with a hosting account, not a replacement. One example why you may require such a log is if you would like to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you don't want to use the regular graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web statistics.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

When you purchase a shared hosting from us, you will be able to determine if access logs have to be created and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You could enable this function from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, integrated with all shared accounts. Every single domain name you host or subdomain you create will be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can effortlessly enable or deactivate the generation of access logs individually for each website that you have. You could save a log to your personal computer by clicking on the Download link you'll see within the exact same section of the CP. The link shall be available even if you deactivate the log generation, so you will still have access to the data compiled by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will have the option to activate or deactivate the generation of access logs with just several mouse clicks within your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You will find this function in the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access as soon as you sign in. All it takes for our system to start creating logs is a click on the On button which you can see there. The function can be triggered independently for any Internet site no matter if it uses a domain name or a subdomain and you shall find a full list of all the hosts within that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with only a click and you could then view it manually or use some software on your laptop or computer. The log generation may be stopped by simply changing the On option to Off in the Logs section of your Control Panel.
