An access log is a thorough list of all the files which were accessed by the guests of a given website. Each and every file which was requested for whatever reason shall be listed, so if you have only one page with three embedded pics, one video and one embedded text file, as an example, the access log will contain a total of 6 entries - one for every of the six files which were accessed when the visitor opened the webpage. A log usually offers the file name and path, the date, along with the visitor’s Operating System, browser and IP address. Sometimes you can also find the referrer websites that sent the visitors to your website. The info which an access log file includes is in human-readable plain text format. It may be processed by special software on a PC and used to write reports on the efficiency of a site, in addition to the web stats which your web hosting server may have produced.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

Our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel includes a section focused on various logs and the access logs are among them. When you sign in to your shared hosting account and take a look at this section, you'll find a list of all the domain names and subdomains you have. All it takes to permit the generation of access logs is to press a button which will be available next to each and every domain/subdomain. If the option is enabled, you will see a download link along with the file size so far, so you'll be able to save the file to your personal computer and look at it or process it with some program. Enabling or disabling the logs takes effect immediately, so if you no longer require one, you may stop it with just a click from the same section of the Control Panel. You'll still have the ability to access the already created content by simply clicking on the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it won't take more than a few mouse clicks to enable the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The feature could be permitted via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and this could be done separately for each domain name or subdomain which you have within your account. After you log in and check out the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you'll find a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to every one of them. A single click will trigger the log generation and another one will disable it, so you can control this feature with great convenience. A Download link inside the same section will enable you to save the generated content as a text file, that you could then use on your PC. Whether or not the logs are disabled, you shall still be able to download the data which has been previously generated.
