An access log is a text file containing a complete list of all the files accessed by your website visitors. All of the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script application and a site visitor opens just the home page, for example, you might find numerous files in the log. It is because there are components on the home page which are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, images, and so on. All these files will be listed inside the access log, so you're able to get a detailed picture of the way your site functions. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently referred to as "raw data" as well. An access log shows the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, along with the user’s IP address, web browser and Operating System. Additional information, such as the referrer Internet site, is sometimes provided too. A log file can be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics generated by your web server.

Access Log Manager in Website Hosting

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

Our advanced web hosting platform shall create access logs for any site hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account, assuming that this feature is activated.

You could stop this feature anytime by following the exact same steps. You will find a Download link for every single log in the same section of the Control Panel, so you will be able to save the content produced by our system in .txt format with simply a click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the function has been deactivated, so you'll still be able to view the data that's already been generated.
