An access log features a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your site. The list is detailed, so in case you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally contains the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the most popular files on your Internet site. The log, that's also frequently referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics you normally get with a hosting account, not a replacement. One example why you might need this kind of a log is if you would like to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you do not want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website statistics.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Website Hosting

If you purchase a cloud website hosting from our company, you will be able to determine if access logs have to be generated and for which domains or subdomains in your account this should be done. You can activate this function from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, included with all shared accounts. Every domain name you host or subdomain you set up will be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to every one of them, so you can quickly activate or disable the generation of access logs independently for each website that you have. You can save a log to your computer by clicking on the Download link that you shall see inside the same section of the Control Panel. The link is available even after you disable the log generation, so you'll still have access to the data gathered by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

You shall be able to check out in depth access logs for any Internet site that you host within a semi-dedicated server account set up on our groundbreaking web hosting platform.

Once you sign in, you can go to the Access/Error Logs section where you will discover a list of all the domains and subdomains that you've added or created and an On/Off button on the right side of each of them. Initiating or deactivating the generation of access logs is as simple as pressing that button and the change will take effect straight away. You can easily save the logs in .txt format by clicking on the Download link located in the same section. The latter shall be available all the time, even if you deactivate the feature for a specific domain or subdomain.
