An access log features a record of all the files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your website. The list is comprehensive, so if you have a webpage with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally includes the date, the OS, the web browser and the IP address for every 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 frequently referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web stats which you typically get with a hosting account, not an alternative. One example why you could need such a log is if you would like to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you do not want to use the regular graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website stats.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

Our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel features a section dedicated to various logs and the access logs are one of them. When you sign in to your shared hosting account and take a look at this section, you shall find a list of all the domain names and subdomains that you have. All it takes to enable the generation of access logs is to click on a button that'll be available next to each and every domain/subdomain. If the option is enabled, you shall see a download link along with the file size so far, so you will be able to save the file to your computer and examine it or process it with some program. Enabling or disabling the logs becomes effective immediately, so if you don't require one, you could stop it with only a click from the very same section of the CP. You'll still be able to access the already developed content by clicking on the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to see comprehensive access logs for any Internet site that you host in a semi-dedicated server account created on our groundbreaking web hosting platform. Our cutting-edge Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to enable the function for each and every domain name or subdomain inside the account individually, which means that you can get logs only for the sites you need. As soon as you sign in, you can navigate to the Access/Error Logs section where you will find a list of all the domain names and subdomains which you have added or created and an On/Off button on the right side of every one of them. Initiating or disabling the generation of access logs is as simple as pressing this button and the change will take effect immediately. You will be able to save the logs in .txt format by clicking on the Download link located in the same section. The latter will be available all the time, even if you deactivate the feature for a certain domain or subdomain.
