An access log includes a record of all files which have been requested by the visitors while browsing your site. The list is detailed, so when you have a webpage with two embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log typically includes the date, the Operating System, the web browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most well liked files on your site. The log, which is also typically called "raw data", is an addition to the web data that you typically get with a hosting account, not an alternative. One example why you could need this type of a log is if you intend to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you do not want to use the typical graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website statistics.
Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting
When you purchase a cloud hosting from our company, you'll be able to decide if access logs should be created and for which domains or subdomains in your account this should be done. You may enable this function from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, incorporated with all shared accounts. Every domain you host or subdomain you create will be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can effortlessly enable or deactivate the generation of access logs separately for every single site that you have. You could save a log to your personal computer by clicking on the Download link that you will see inside the very same section of the Control Panel. The link shall be available even after you stop the log generation, so you will still have access to the data gathered by our system.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you host your websites within a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you'll have the option to activate or disable the generation of access logs with only several mouse clicks inside your Hepsia hosting CP. You shall find this feature inside the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access as soon as you sign in. All it takes for our system to start producing logs is a click on the On button which you will see there. The feature can be activated independently for any website no matter if it uses a domain or a subdomain and you will find the full list of all the hosts within that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with simply a click and you could then see it manually or use some software on your PC. The log generation may be disabled by simply switching the On option to Off within the Logs section of your CP.
