An access log is a thorough list of all the files that were accessed by the guests of a certain Internet site. Each and every file that was requested for some reason will be listed, so if you have only one webpage with 3 embedded pictures, one video and one embedded text file, as an illustration, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for any of the six files that were accessed when the visitor opened the webpage. A log usually provides the file name and path, the date, as well as the visitor’s Operating System, Internet browser and IP address. Occasionally you could also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your website. The information which an access log file includes is in human-readable plain text format. It could be processed by special software on a PC and used to write reports on the performance of a site, aside from the web statistics that your server may have generated.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

If you choose one of our shared hosting packages, you will receive comprehensive access logs for all your sites. Once you sign in to your Hepsia CP, you can go to the Access/Error Logs section in which you will see a complete list of the domain names and subdomains that you have added or created within the web hosting account. You will only have to click on the On button, that is located on the right-hand side of each hostname and our cloud platform shall start generating logs at once. To stop this function, you will have to follow the very same steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains could be managed separately and whenever you want. You can find a download link in the Logs section of the CP for any log created by our system, so you're able to save the file to your laptop or computer and view it or use it with some log processing software.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it shall not take more than a couple of mouse clicks to trigger the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The feature can be enabled via the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this could be done independently for each and every domain name or subdomain which you have in your account. Whenever you log in and visit the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you will find a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to each one. A single click shall activate the log generation and another one will deactivate it, so you can control this feature with great comfort. A Download link within the same section will allow you to save the compiled content as a text file, that you can then use on your personal computer. Whether or not the logs are disabled, you shall still be able to download the data that has been previously generated.
