An access log is a text file that contains a thorough list of all of the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script application and a site visitor opens just the home page, for example, you may find plenty of files inside the log. It is because there are things on the home page that are embedded - parts of other webpages, pics, etc. All these files will be listed in the access log, so you're able to get a full picture of the way your site works. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally referred to as "raw data" as well. An access log contains the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, along with the user’s IP address, web browser and Operating System. Additional information, such as the referrer website, is oftentimes included too. A log file may be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats generated by your website hosting server.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

When you choose one of our shared hosting solutions, you will receive detailed access logs for your sites. Once you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you can check out the Access/Error Logs section where you will see a complete list of the domains and subdomains that you've added or created within the web hosting account. You'll only have to click on the On button, that's located on the right-hand side of each hostname and our cloud platform will start generating logs immediately. To disable this feature, you'll need to follow the exact same steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains could be managed individually and whenever you want. You'll find a download link inside the Logs section of the CP for any log produced by our system, allowing you to save the file to your personal computer and view it or use it with some log processing software.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it will not take more than several mouse clicks to trigger the generation of access logs by our system if you require them. The feature may be permitted via the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and this could be done separately for each and every domain or subdomain that you have in your account. Whenever you log in and navigate to the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you'll see a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to each one. A single click will trigger the log generation and a second one shall disable it, so you can control this function with great convenience. A Download link inside the same section will enable you to save the gathered content as a text file, that you could then use on your computer. Whether or not the logs are deactivated, you will still be able to download the data which has been previously generated.
