An access log features a record of all the files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your website. The list is detailed, so if you have a page with two embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not just the page. An access log usually contains the date, the Operating System, the browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most popular files on your site. The log, that is also commonly named "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics that you commonly get with a hosting account, not an alternative. One example why you may require such a log is if you want to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s general performance, but you do not want to use the standard graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website statistics.

Access Log Manager in Shared Website Hosting

If you acquire a shared website hosting from us, you'll be able to choose if access logs should be created and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this must be done. You may activate this function from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all shared accounts. Every domain name you host or subdomain you create shall be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to every one of them, so you can conveniently trigger or deactivate the generation of access logs separately for every single website that you have. You can save a log to your personal computer by clicking on the Download link you'll see in the exact same section of the Control Panel. The link is available even after you stop the log generation, so you'll still have access to the data collected by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our state-of-the-art website hosting platform shall generate access logs for each Internet site hosted within a semi-dedicated server account, as long as this function is permitted. All domain names and subdomains that you have shall be listed within the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which we supply 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 small button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You could deactivate this feature whenever you want by following the very same steps. You will find a Download link for each and every log inside the same section of the CP, so you will be able to save the content generated by our system in .txt format with just a mouse click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the option has been disabled, so you'll still be able to view the data that has already been generated.
