An access log is a text file that contains an extensive report on all of the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script app and a visitor opens only the home page, for example, you might find numerous files inside the log. It is because there are resources on the home page which are embedded - parts of other webpages, images, and so forth. All these files shall be listed in the access log, allowing you to get a complete picture of the way your site works. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently described as "raw data" too. An access log provides the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, and also the user’s IP address, world-wide web browser and OS. More info, such as the referrer Internet site, is usually provided as well. A log file could be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats supplied by your server.

Access Log Manager in Shared Website Hosting

If you order a shared website hosting from us, you shall be able to choose if access logs must be produced and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You'll be able to enable this option from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, integrated with all shared accounts. Every single domain you host or subdomain you create will be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to each of them, so you can easily enable or deactivate the generation of access logs independently for each site that you have. You could save a log to your computer by clicking on the Download link that you will see inside the exact same section of the CP. The link will be available even if you deactivate the log generation, so you shall still have access to the data compiled by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host your websites inside a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will have the option to activate or deactivate the generation of access logs with only a couple of clicks in your Hepsia hosting CP. You will find this feature inside the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access as soon as you sign in. All it takes for our system to start creating logs is a single click on the On button which you will see there. The feature can be activated independently for any Internet site no matter if it uses a domain or a subdomain and you will find a full list of all the hosts within that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with a click and you could then look at it manually or use some software on your laptop or computer. The log generation may be disabled by simply changing the On option to Off in the Logs section of your CP.
