An access log is a complete list of all the files that were accessed by the guests of a certain website. Every single file that was requested for some reason shall be listed, so if you have just one webpage with three embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, for example, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for every of the 6 files which were accessed when the site visitor opened the page. A log normally offers the file name and path, the date, in addition to the visitor’s OS, web browser and IP address. Occasionally you may also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The information that an access log file contains is in human-readable plain text format. It could be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to prepare reports on the functionality of a site, besides the web statistics your web hosting server may have generated.

Access Log Manager in Web Hosting

If you pick one of our web hosting plans, you will get comprehensive access logs for all your sites. After you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you can check out the Access/Error Logs section where you will see a thorough list of the domains and subdomains that you have added or created in the hosting account. You'll only need to click on the On button, that's located on the right-hand side of every hostname and our cloud platform will start generating logs at once. 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 anytime. You will find a download link inside the Logs section of the Control Panel for every log generated by our system, allowing you to save the file to your computer and view it or use it via some log processing software.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks to enable the generation of access logs by our system if you require them. The feature could be enabled from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and this could be done separately for each and every domain or subdomain which you have within your account. As soon as you log in and check out the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you'll find a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to all of them. One click will enable the log generation and another one will disable it, so you can control this feature with great simplicity. A Download link in the same section will allow you to save the compiled content as a text file, which 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.
