An access log features a record of all the files that have been requested by the visitors while browsing your website. The list is comprehensive, so when you have a webpage with two embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log typically contains the date, the Operating System, the browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the hottest files on your Internet site. The log, which is also frequently referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web data which you normally get with a hosting account, not a substitute. A good example why you may require this sort of a log is if you wish to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you do not want to use the typical graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web stats.

Access Log Manager in Hosting

Our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel has a section focused on various logs and the access logs are one of them. As soon as you sign in to your hosting account and take a look at this section, you shall find a list of all the domain names and subdomains you have. All it takes to enable the generation of access logs is to press a button that'll be available next to every domain/subdomain. If the option is active, you'll see a download link and also the file size so far, so you will be able to save the file to your computer and view it or process it with some program. Enabling or disabling the logs becomes effective instantly, so if you don't require one, you'll be able to stop it with only a mouse click from the same exact section of the CP. You shall still be able to access the already generated content by simply clicking the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it won't take more than a few clicks to activate the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The feature can be permitted from the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and this may be done individually for each domain name or subdomain that you have within your account. Once you log in and look at the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you will find a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to every one of them. One click shall trigger the log generation and a second one will disable it, so you can control this function with great comfort. A Download link inside the same section will allow you to save the generated content as a text file, that you may then use on your laptop or computer. Even when the logs are deactivated, you'll still be able to download the data which has been previously generated.
