An access log is a text file containing a complete list of all the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All the files that were requested in one way or another will be included, so when you have a PHP script program and a visitor opens just the home page, for example, you might find many files in the log. This is because there are elements on the home page which are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, graphics, and so on. All these files shall be listed in the access log, allowing you to get a detailed picture of the way your site performs. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally referred to as "raw data" too. An access log shows the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, along with the user’s IP address, web browser and OS. Additional information, like the referrer Internet site, is oftentimes included too. A log file may be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics supplied by your hosting server.

Access Log Manager in Hosting

When you purchase a hosting from us, you shall be able to determine if access logs have to be generated and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You can activate this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, integrated with all shared accounts. Each domain you host or subdomain you create shall be listed there and you will see an On/Off option next to each of them, so you can quickly trigger or deactivate the generation of access logs individually for every single site that you have. You may save a log to your computer by clicking on the Download link that you will see in the very same section of the Control Panel. The link shall be available even after you stop the log generation, so you shall still have access to the data collected by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our advanced web hosting platform will create access logs for every site hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, assuming that this function is enabled. All domains and subdomains that you have will be listed within the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which we supply with all the accounts, so if you would like our system to start creating logs for any of them, you should simply 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 stop this function anytime by following the very same steps. You will find a Download link for every single log inside the very same section of the CP, so you can easily save the content produced by our system in .txt format with no more than a mouse click. An existing log file may be downloaded even after the function has been disabled, so you will still be able to see the data that's already been generated.
