An access log features a record of all of the files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your website. The list is thorough, so in case you have a webpage with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log normally contains the date, the Operating System, the Internet browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most well liked files on your site. The log, which is also commonly called "raw data", is an addition to the web stats which you usually get with a hosting account, not a substitute. An illustration why you could need this sort of a log is if you want to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you don't want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web statistics.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

When you order a shared hosting from us, you will be able to choose if access logs should be produced and for which domains or subdomains in your account this should be done. You could activate this option from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, integrated with all shared accounts. Each and every domain name you host or subdomain you create will be listed there and you will see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can easily trigger or disable the generation of access logs separately for each site that you have. You'll be able to save a log to your laptop or computer by clicking on the Download link that you shall see within the exact same section of the Control Panel. The link will be available even if you disable the log generation, so you will still have access to the data gathered by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it shall not take more than a few clicks to enable the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The feature could be enabled from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this may be done separately for every single domain name or subdomain that you have within your account. Once you log in and visit the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you'll find a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to each of them. A single click will trigger the log generation and a second one shall deactivate it, so you can control this feature with great ease. A Download link in the same section will allow you to save the gathered content as a text file, that you may then use on your PC. Even if the logs are deactivated, you will still be able to download the data that has been previously generated.
