An access log includes a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your Internet site. The list is detailed, so in case you have a webpage with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log usually includes the date, the Operating System, the Internet browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most well liked files on your Internet site. The log, which is also typically named "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics you commonly get with a hosting account, not a replacement. A good example why you might need this kind of a log is if you would like to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you don't want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website statistics.
Access Log Manager in Shared Website Hosting
Our in-house built Hepsia CP includes a section focused on various logs and the access logs are one of them. Once you sign in to your shared website hosting account and go to this section, you'll find a list of all the domains and subdomains you have. All it takes to permit the generation of access logs is to press a button that'll be available next to each and every domain/subdomain. When the option is active, 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 view it or process it with some application. Enabling or disabling the logs becomes effective right away, so if you don't need one, you'll be able to stop it with just a mouse click from the very same section of the CP. You will still have the ability to access the already created content by simply clicking the Download link.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our sophisticated web hosting platform will generate access logs for every single website hosted within a semi-dedicated server account, assuming that this feature is permitted. All domains and subdomains that you have will be listed inside the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which we offer with all the accounts, so if you would like our system to start creating logs for any of them, you should just click on the little button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and change the default Off option to On. You could disable this feature anytime by following exactly the same steps. You'll find a Download link for every single log inside the very same section of the Control Panel, so you can easily save the content generated by our system in .txt format with simply a click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the option has been deactivated, so you'll still be able to check out the data that has already been generated.
