An access log contains a record of all the files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your website. The list is thorough, so if you have a web page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log typically features the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the hottest files on your website. The log, which is also frequently called "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you normally get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An illustration why you may need this type of a log is if you intend to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you don't want to use the conventional graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web statistics.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

Our custom Hepsia CP includes a section dedicated to various logs and the access logs are among them. Once you sign in to your shared hosting account and navigate 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 that'll be available next to each and every domain/subdomain. In case the option is active, you will see a download link as well as the file size so far, so you'll be able to save the file to your PC and view it or process it with some app. Enabling or disabling the logs takes effect immediately, so if you no longer need one, you can stop it with simply a click from the same section of the CP. You shall still have the ability to access the already developed content by simply clicking on the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your Internet sites inside a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you shall have the option to enable or disable the generation of access logs with just a couple of mouse clicks from your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You shall find this feature within the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access when you sign in. All it takes for our system to start creating logs is a single click on the On button that you'll see there. The function can be triggered individually for any site regardless if it uses a domain or a subdomain and you shall find a detailed list of all the hosts within that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with only a click and you can then view it manually or use some software on your computer. The log generation can be stopped by simply switching the On option to Off within the Logs section of your Control Panel.
