An access log is a detailed list of all the files that were accessed by the guests of a certain site. Any file that was requested in some way will be listed, so if you have a single page with three embedded graphics, one video and one embedded text file, for instance, the access log shall contain a total of six entries - one for every of the 6 files which were accessed when the visitor opened the webpage. A log usually contains the file name and path, the date, along with the visitor’s OS, worldwide web browser and IP address. In some cases you may also find the referrer websites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The data that an access log file provides is in human-readable plain text format. It may be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to prepare reports on the performance of a site, independent of the web statistics which your server may have generated.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs will be exceptionally simple when you acquire a cloud hosting from our company. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, provided with all of the accounts, features a section on different logs which is where you shall find the access logs too. Once you navigate there, you'll see a list of all the domains hosted within the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform will start producing an access log for any of them the instant you click on the On button, which you will see on the right. If you don't need logs, disabling the option is just as quick and can be accomplished by clicking on the Off button within the same section. All of the logs are downloadable, therefore you can easily save and manage them on your desktop PC or laptop.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host your sites within a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will have the option to enable or disable the generation of access logs with only a couple of clicks in your Hepsia hosting CP. You shall find this function within the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access once you sign in. All it takes for our system to start producing logs is a click on the On button which you can see there. The function can be activated independently for any website regardless of whether it uses a domain or a subdomain and you shall find the full list of all the hosts within that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with only a click and you may then look at it manually or use some software on your computer. The log generation may be deactivated by simply changing the On option to Off inside the Logs section of your CP.
