An access log features a record of all of the files which have been requested by the visitors while browsing your Internet site. The list is comprehensive, so if you have a page with two embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally features the date, the Operating System, the Internet browser and the IP address for each and every file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the most well liked files on your site. The log, that's also frequently referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you typically get with a hosting account, not a substitute. An illustration why you could need this sort of a log is if you wish to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you don't want to use the standard graphs and tables which come with the server-generated web stats.

Access Log Manager in Hosting

Our in-house built Hepsia CP features a section focused on various logs and the access logs are among them. Once you sign in to your hosting account and take a look at this section, you'll find a list of all the domains and subdomains which you have. All it takes to enable the generation of access logs is to click on a button which will be available next to each and every domain/subdomain. If the option is enabled, you shall see a download link along with the file size so far, so you shall be able to save the file to your laptop or computer and examine it or process it with some application. Enabling or disabling the logs takes effect instantly, so if you no longer need one, you'll be able to stop it with a mouse click from the same exact section of the CP. You will still be able to access the already created content by clicking on the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it won't take more than a few clicks to enable the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The feature can be permitted from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this could be done independently for each and every domain or subdomain that you have in your account. After you log in and navigate to the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you will discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to all of them. One click shall enable the log generation and another one will disable it, so you can control this function with great convenience. A Download link inside the same section will enable you to save the generated content as a text file, which you could then use on your notebook or computer. Whether or not the logs are disabled, you'll still be able to download the data which has been previously generated.
