An access log is a text file containing an extensive list of all the files accessed by your site visitors. All of the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script program and a site visitor opens only the home page, for example, you may find numerous files in the log. It is because there are resources on the home page which are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, images, and so forth. These files shall be listed inside the access log, so you can get a complete picture of the way your website functions. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally referred to as "raw data" too. An access log provides the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, world-wide web browser and OS. More info, including the referrer site, is usually included too. A log file can be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics provided by your website hosting server.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

When you choose one of our shared hosting plans, you will receive in-depth access logs for all your websites. Once you sign in to your Hepsia CP, you can go to the Access/Error Logs section in which you will see a thorough list of the domains and subdomains that you have added or created in the web hosting account. You'll simply need to click on the On button, that is located on the right-hand side of every hostname and our cloud platform shall start generating logs immediately. To disable this function, you'll have to follow the exact same steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains can be managed separately and at any time. You can find a download link within the Logs section of the Control Panel for every log created by our system, allowing you to save the file to your PC and view it or use it through some log processing software.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it won't take more than a few clicks to trigger the generation of access logs by our system if you require them. The function could be enabled from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this may be done separately for every single domain or subdomain that you have within your account. As soon as you log in and go to the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, 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 shall deactivate it, so you can control this function with great convenience. A Download link in the same section will allow you to save the generated content as a text file, that you could then use on your computer system. Even if the logs are disabled, you'll still be able to download the data that has been previously generated.
