An access log contains a record of all of the files which have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your site. The list is detailed, so when you have a page with two embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log typically contains 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 most well liked files on your website. The log, that is also often referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you typically get with a hosting account, not an alternative. One example why you could need this kind of a log is if you would like to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you don't want to use the typical graphs and tables which come with the server-generated web statistics.
Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting
When you pick one of our shared hosting packages, you'll get in-depth access logs for all your Internet sites. As soon as you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you can go to the Access/Error Logs section in which you will see a thorough list of the domain names and subdomains which you have added or created within the web hosting account. You'll only need to click on the On button, that is located on the right-hand side of each hostname and our cloud platform will start generating logs immediately. To stop this feature, you will have to follow the exact same steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains could be managed individually and whenever you want. You can find a download link inside the Logs section of the CP for any log created by our system, so you're able to save the file to your personal computer and view it or use it through some log processing software.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it shall not take more than a couple of clicks to enable the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The function could be enabled via the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and this can be done independently for each domain name or subdomain that you have in your account. After you log in and navigate to the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you'll discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to all of them. One click will trigger the log generation and another one shall disable it, so you can control this function with great simplicity. A Download link inside the same section will allow you to save the created content as a text file, which you could then use on your computer. Even when the logs are disabled, you shall still be able to download the data that has been previously generated.
