An access log is a comprehensive list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a given website. Every single file which was requested for whatever reason shall be listed, so if you have just one webpage with 3 embedded pics, one video and one embedded text file, for instance, the access log shall contain a total of six entries - one for each of the 6 files which were accessed when the website visitor opened the page. A log typically shows the file name and path, the date, in addition to the visitor’s Operating System, browser and IP address. In some cases you could also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your site. The information that an access log file features is in human-readable plain text format. It could be processed by special software on a PC and used to prepare reports on the overall performance of an Internet site, in addition to the web stats which your server may have created.

Access Log Manager in Web Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs will be extremely easy if you buy a web hosting from us. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, which comes with all of the accounts, has a section on different logs and that is where you shall find the access logs as well. As soon as you go there, you'll see a list of all the domains hosted in the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom made cloud hosting platform will start generating an access log for each of them when you click on the On button, which you'll see on the right. If you no longer require logs, disabling the option is just as quick and can be done by clicking on the Off button within the same exact section. All of the logs are downloadable, so you can easily save and manage them on your desktop computer or laptop.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you'll have the option to trigger or disable the generation of access logs with just several clicks inside your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You shall find this function in the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access once you sign in. All it takes for our system to start creating logs is a click on the On button which you will see there. The function can be activated individually for any website regardless of whether it uses a domain or a subdomain and you will find the complete list of all the hosts in that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with a click and you could then view it manually or use some software on your computer. The log generation may be stopped by simply changing the On option to Off in the Logs section of your CP.
