An access log includes a record of all of the files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your Internet site. The list is thorough, so if 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 typically features the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the hottest files on your website. The log, that's also commonly named "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you normally get with a hosting account, not an alternative. An example why you could need this kind of a log is if you intend to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you do not want to use the typical graphs and tables that come with the server-generated site stats.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Website Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs will be very simple if you buy a cloud website hosting from us. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all the accounts, features a section dedicated to different logs and that is where you will find the access logs too. Once you go there, you will see a list of all the domain names hosted within the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom made cloud hosting platform will start generating an access log for any of them the instant you click on the On button, which you will see on the right. If you don't need logs, disabling the option is just as easy and can be done by clicking on the Off button inside the same section. All the logs are downloadable, which means that you can comfortably save and manage them on your desktop PC or laptop.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you host your websites within a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will have the option to trigger or disable the generation of access logs with only several clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You shall find this feature within the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access after you sign in. All it takes for our system to start creating logs is a click on the On button that you'll see there. The feature can be enabled independently for any site regardless of whether it uses a domain name or a subdomain and you will find a detailed list of all the hosts in that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with just a click and you could then view it manually or use some software on your laptop or computer. The log generation may be stopped by simply changing the On option to Off in the Logs section of your Control Panel.
