An access log is a text file containing an extensive list of all of the files accessed by your site visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so if you have a PHP script app and a website visitor opens just the home page, for example, you might find a lot of files in the log. This is because there are components on the home page that are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, pictures, and so on. All of these files will be listed inside the access log, so that you can get a full picture of the way your site performs. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently called "raw data" too. An access log shows the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, and also the user’s IP address, web browser and OS. More info, including the referrer website, is oftentimes supplied as well. A log file can be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics supplied by your server.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs shall be extremely simple when you purchase a cloud hosting from our company. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, supplied with all the accounts, features a section dedicated to different logs and that is where you will find the access logs too. Once you navigate there, you shall see a list of all the domain names hosted in the account and the subdomains created for them. Our customized cloud hosting platform shall start creating an access log for each of them as soon as you click on the On button, which you'll see on the right. If you no longer require logs, disabling the option is just as quick and can be carried out by clicking on the Off button inside the same section. All the logs are downloadable, therefore you can effortlessly save and manage them on your PC or notebook.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our sophisticated web hosting platform will generate access logs for each website hosted within a semi-dedicated server account, assuming that this function is enabled. All domain names and subdomains that you have shall be listed inside the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, that we offer with all the accounts, so if you'd like our system to start generating logs for any of them, you should simply click on the little button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and change the default Off option to On. You can stop this feature whenever you want by following the exact same steps. You'll find a Download link for each and every log inside the same section of the Control Panel, so you can save the content produced by our system in .txt format with only a mouse click. An existing log file can be downloaded even after the option has been deactivated, so you'll still be able to view the data which has already been generated.
