An access log features a record of all files which have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your website. The list is detailed, so if you have a webpage with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log typically contains the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for each and every file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the most popular files on your site. The log, that's also often referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web data that you normally get with a hosting account, not a substitute. A good example why you may require this sort of a log is if you would like to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you do not want to use the conventional graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website stats.

Access Log Manager in Shared Website Hosting

When you purchase a shared website hosting from us, you will be able to decide if access logs should be created and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You can activate this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, integrated with all shared accounts. Each domain you host or subdomain you set up will be listed there and you will see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can conveniently enable or disable the generation of access logs separately for every single site that you have. You could save a log to your laptop or computer by clicking on the Download link you'll see in the very same section of the CP. The link will be available even after you disable the log generation, so you'll still have access to the data collected by our system.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will have the option to enable or deactivate the generation of access logs with only a couple of mouse clicks within your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You'll find this function within the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access when you sign in. All it takes for our system to start generating logs is a click on the On button which you can see there. The feature can be enabled independently for any Internet site regardless if it uses a domain or a subdomain and you shall find the complete list of all the hosts in that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with simply a click and you can then view it manually or use some software on your personal computer. The log generation may be deactivated by simply changing the On option to Off within the Logs section of your CP.
