An access log includes a record of all of the files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your site. The list is comprehensive, so in case you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not just the page. An access log typically features the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the hottest files on your site. The log, that is also typically referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics you commonly get with a hosting account, not an alternative. A good example why you might need this sort of a log is if you intend to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you do not want to use the typical graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website statistics.
Access Log Manager in Hosting
Enabling the generation of access logs shall be extremely easy when you buy a hosting from us. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, which comes with all of the accounts, has a section dedicated to different logs and that is where you'll find the access logs as well. Once you navigate there, you shall see a list of all the domain names hosted in the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom made cloud hosting platform shall start creating an access log for each of them when you click on the On button, that you will see on the right. If you no longer need logs, disabling the option is just as fast and can be accomplished by clicking on the Off button within the same exact section. All the logs are downloadable, therefore you can effortlessly save and manage them on your PC or notebook.

You'll be able to view in depth access logs for any website that you host inside a semi-dedicated server account set up on our innovative website hosting platform. Our cutting-edge Hepsia hosting CP will permit you to enable the function for each and every domain name or subdomain in the account separately, so you can get logs exclusively for the websites that you need. Once you sign in, you can go to the Access/Error Logs section where you will discover a list of all the domains and subdomains which you have added or created and an On/Off button on the right side of all of them. Triggering or disabling the generation of access logs is as basic as clicking on that button and the change shall take effect right away. You may save the logs in .txt format by clicking on the Download link located in the very same section. The latter will be available at all times, even if you disable the function for a certain domain or subdomain.
