An access log is a detailed list of all the files that were accessed by the visitors of a given site. Every single file that was requested for some reason will be listed, so if you have only one page with three embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, as an example, the access log will contain a total of 6 entries - one for every of the 6 files that were accessed when the website visitor opened the page. A log usually contains the file name and path, the date, plus the visitor’s OS, worldwide web browser and IP address. Occasionally you could also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your website. The information which an access log file contains is in human-readable plain text format. It could be processed by special software on a PC and used to prepare reports on the performance of a site, besides the web statistics which your hosting server may have generated.

Access Log Manager in Website Hosting

When you order a website hosting from our company, you shall be able to decide if access logs must be produced and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You could activate this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, integrated with all shared accounts. Every domain you host or subdomain you set up will be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to each one of them, so you can conveniently activate or deactivate the generation of access logs separately for every single site that you have. You could save a log to your computer by clicking on the Download link that you will see in the same section of the Control Panel. The link will be available even after you disable the log generation, so you will still have access to the data collected by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our leading-edge web hosting platform will create access logs for any site hosted within a semi-dedicated server account, provided that this feature is permitted. All domains and subdomains that you have will be listed inside the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, that we provide with all of the accounts, so if you need our system to start generating logs for each of them, you should simply click on the little button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You may deactivate this feature anytime by following the exact same steps. You can find a Download link for each log in the same exact section of the Control Panel, so you may save the content produced by our system in .txt format with simply a mouse click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the option has been deactivated, so you will still be able to view the data that has already been generated.
