An access log includes a record of all of the files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your website. The list is comprehensive, so if you have a page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally contains the date, the Operating System, the web browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most popular files on your website. The log, which is also commonly referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web stats that you commonly get with a hosting account, not an alternative. A good example why you may need this kind of a log is if you intend to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you don't want to use the typical graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web statistics.
Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting
When you order a shared hosting from our company, you shall be able to choose if access logs have to be created and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this should be done. You'll be able to enable this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, included with all shared accounts. Every single domain you host or subdomain you create shall be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to each one of them, so you can conveniently trigger or deactivate the generation of access logs independently for each site that you have. You could save a log to your PC by clicking on the Download link that you'll see inside the exact same section of the Control Panel. The link will be available even after you disable the log generation, so you'll still have access to the data collected by our system.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to see comprehensive access logs for any Internet site that you host within a semi-dedicated server account created on our innovative web hosting platform. Our cutting-edge Hepsia hosting CP will permit you to enable the function for each domain or subdomain inside the account individually, so that you can get logs exclusively for the sites you need. When you sign in, you can navigate to the Access/Error Logs section in which you will find a list of all the domain names and subdomains that you have added or created and an On/Off button on the right side of every one of them. Enabling or deactivating the generation of access logs is as basic as pressing this button and the change will take effect immediately. You can easily save the logs in .txt format by clicking on the Download link situated in the same section. The latter shall be available all the time, even after you deactivate the feature for a certain domain or subdomain.
