An access log is a text file that contains a full list of all of the files accessed by your website visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so if you have a PHP script program and a visitor opens just the home page, for example, you might find many files inside the log. The reason is that there are elements on the home page which are embedded - parts of other pages, pictures, and so forth. All these files shall be listed in the access log, so you're able to get a detailed picture of the way your Internet site performs. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are sometimes described as "raw data" too. An access log provides the name of every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, along with the user’s IP address, browser and OS. Additional information, such as the referrer Internet site, is typically included too. A log file may be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics supplied by your server.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Website Hosting

When you pick one of our cloud website hosting solutions, you will get detailed access logs for all your sites. As soon as you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you can check out the Access/Error Logs section in which you will see a complete list of the domain names and subdomains you have added or created within the web hosting account. You'll only have to click on the On button, which is located on the right-hand side of each hostname and our cloud platform will start generating logs right away. To disable this feature, you will need to follow the very same steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains could be handled independently and at any time. You can find a download link within the Logs section of the Control Panel for any log created by our system, so you can save the file to your computer and view it or use it with some log processing software.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it won't take more than a few mouse clicks to trigger the generation of access logs by our system if you require them. The function can be permitted through the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and this may be done separately for every single domain name or subdomain which you have within your account. When you log in and look at the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you'll see a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to every one of them. A single click shall activate the log generation and another one will deactivate it, so you can control this function with great ease. A Download link within the same section will enable you to save the compiled content as a text file, which you may then use on your laptop or computer. Even when the logs are deactivated, you'll still be able to download the data that's been previously generated.
