An access log is a thorough list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a particular site. Any file which was requested in some way will be listed, so if you have one page with 3 embedded pictures, one video and one embedded text file, for instance, the access log shall contain a total of six entries - one for each of the 6 files which were accessed when the website visitor opened the page. A log typically shows the file name and path, the date, along with the visitor’s OS, web browser and IP address. Occasionally you may also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your website. The information that an access log file features is in human-readable plain text format. It can also be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to prepare reports on the overall performance of an Internet site, in addition to the web stats your server may have generated.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

When you choose one of our shared hosting solutions, you shall get in-depth access logs for your sites. Once you sign in to your Hepsia CP, you can check out the Access/Error Logs section in which you will see a thorough list of the domains and subdomains you have added or created within the web hosting account. You will only need to click on the On button, that's located on the right-hand side of every hostname and our cloud platform shall start generating logs at once. To disable this feature, you'll need to follow the same exact steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains can be handled independently and anytime. You will find a download link inside the Logs section of the Control Panel for any log generated by our system, so you're able to save the file to your computer system and view it or use it through some log processing software.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it shall not take more than several mouse clicks to permit 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 may be done independently for every single domain or subdomain you have within your account. When you log in and look at the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you will discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to each of them. A single click will trigger the log generation and another one shall deactivate it, so you can control this feature with great efficiency. A Download link within the same section will permit you to save the created 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's been previously generated.
