An access log is a text file that contains a thorough report on all of the files accessed by your website visitors. All of the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script application and a visitor opens just the home page, for instance, you may find numerous files inside the log. It is because there are elements on the home page that are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, pics, and so on. All of these files shall be listed inside the access log, so you can get a full picture of the way your site functions. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally described as "raw data" too. An access log shows the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, in addition to the user’s IP address, Internet browser and Operating System. More info, such as the referrer site, is usually included as well. A log file can be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats supplied by your web server.

Access Log Manager in Web Hosting

If you order a web hosting from our company, you shall be able to determine if access logs have to be created and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this should be done. You could activate this option from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, incorporated with all shared accounts. Any domain you host or subdomain you create will be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to each one of them, so you can easily activate or disable the generation of access logs individually for each site that you have. You may save a log to your computer by clicking on the Download link that you'll see within the same exact section of the Control Panel. The link is available even after you disable the log generation, so you'll still have access to the data compiled by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our sophisticated hosting platform shall generate access logs for every site hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, assuming that this feature is enabled. All domains and subdomains that you have shall be listed in the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, that we supply with all the accounts, so if you'd like our system to start generating logs for any of them, you should just click on the small 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 at any time by following the very same steps. You will find a Download link for each and every log in the same exact section of the Control Panel, so you may save the content gathered by our system in .txt format with just a mouse click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the option has been deactivated, so you'll still be able to view the data which has already been generated.
