An access log includes a record of all files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your Internet site. The list is comprehensive, so when you have a page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally includes the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for each and every file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the hottest files on your site. The log, that's also frequently named "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics you normally get with a hosting account, not a replacement. A good example why you may require such a log is if you intend to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s general performance, but you do not want to use the conventional graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website statistics.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

When you buy a shared hosting from us, you shall be able to choose if access logs have to be created and for which domains or subdomains in your account this should be done. You could enable this option from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, included with all shared accounts. Each domain you host or subdomain you set up will be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to each of them, so you can quickly trigger or disable the generation of access logs independently for each site that you have. You can save a log to your computer by clicking on the Download link that you shall see inside the very same section of the Control Panel. The link will be available even if you deactivate the log generation, so you will still have access to the data collected by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it shall not take more than a couple of clicks to permit the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The feature can be activated from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this could be done separately for each and every domain or subdomain that you have within your account. As soon as you log in and look at the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you'll discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to every one of them. A single click will trigger the log generation and another one shall deactivate it, so you can control this function with great comfort. A Download link in the same section will enable you to save the gathered content as a text file, which you may then use on your laptop or computer. Whether or not the logs are deactivated, you'll still be able to download the data that has been previously generated.
