An access log is a text file containing a full report on all the files accessed by your site visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another shall be included, so when you have a PHP script program and a website visitor opens only the home page, for example, you may find a lot of files in the log. The reason is that there are elements on the home page that are embedded - parts of other pages, pics, etc. All of these files shall be listed within the access log, so you're able to get a complete picture of the way your website performs. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently termed "raw data" as well. An access log provides the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, and also the user’s IP address, browser and Operating System. Additional information, like the referrer Internet site, is typically included as well. A log file may be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics provided by your web server.

Access Log Manager in Web Hosting

If you order a web hosting from us, you will be able to determine if access logs have to be created and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You'll be able to activate this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which comes with all shared accounts. Every domain you host or subdomain you set up shall be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to each of them, so you can conveniently trigger or disable the generation of access logs individually for every single website that you have. You could save a log to your PC by clicking on the Download link you'll see in the very same section of the CP. The link is available even if you stop the log generation, so you will still have access to the data gathered by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our advanced website hosting platform shall create access logs for each and every Internet site hosted within a semi-dedicated server account, assuming that this function is activated. All domains and subdomains that you have shall be listed in the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which we offer with all of the accounts, so if you'd like our system to start producing logs for each of them, you should just click on the compact button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and change the default Off option to On. You can stop this function anytime by following the exact same steps. You'll find a Download link for each and every log within the exact same section of the CP, so you will be able to save the content generated by our system in .txt format with only a mouse click. An existing log file may be downloaded even after the function has been deactivated, so you will still be able to check out the data that has already been generated.
