An access log features a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your Internet site. The list is detailed, so when 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 normally includes the date, the OS, the Internet browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the hottest files on your website. The log, that's also commonly named "raw data", is an addition to the web data which you normally get with a hosting account, not an alternative. A good example why you may need this sort of a log is if you would like to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you don't want to use the typical graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website statistics.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

If you buy a shared hosting from our company, you will be able to determine if access logs have to be produced and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You could activate this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, incorporated with all shared accounts. Each domain you host or subdomain you set up will be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can effortlessly enable or disable the generation of access logs separately for every single website that you have. You can save a log to your laptop or computer by clicking on the Download link you'll see within the very same section of the CP. The link shall be available even after you stop the log generation, so you'll still have access to the data gathered by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it will not take more than a few mouse clicks to permit the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The feature can be permitted via the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this can be done separately for every single domain or subdomain that you have in your account. Whenever you log in and navigate to the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you will find a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to all of them. A single click shall trigger the log generation and a second one will disable it, so you can control this feature with great comfort. A Download link in the same section will enable you to save the compiled content as a text file, which you may then use on your PC. Even when the logs are disabled, you shall still be able to download the data that has been previously generated.
