An access log includes a record of all of the files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your site. The list is thorough, so if you have a webpage with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log usually includes the date, the Operating System, the web browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most popular files on your site. The log, that is also often called "raw data", is an addition to the web stats that you typically get with a hosting account, not a substitute. One example why you might need this kind of a log is if you want to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you don't want to use the conventional graphs and tables that come with the server-generated site stats.
Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting
Our custom Hepsia Control Panel includes a section dedicated to various logs and the access logs are among them. As you sign in to your cloud hosting account and visit this section, you shall find a list of all the domain names and subdomains that you have. All it takes to allow the generation of access logs is to click on a button that'll be available next to every single domain/subdomain. In case the option is active, you will see a download link along with the file size so far, so you will be able to save the file to your personal computer and view it or process it with some program. Enabling or disabling the logs becomes effective instantly, so if you don't require one, you may stop it with just a mouse click from the same exact section of the Control Panel. You'll still be able to access the already generated content by clicking on the Download link.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our leading-edge website hosting platform shall create access logs for each Internet site hosted within a semi-dedicated server account, provided that this feature is enabled. All domain names and subdomains that you have shall be listed in the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, that we offer with all of the accounts, so if you'd like our system to start producing logs for each of them, you should simply click on the little button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and change the default Off option to On. You'll be able to stop this feature anytime by following the same steps. You can find a Download link for each log inside the very same section of the CP, so you may save the content gathered by our system in .txt format with no more than a mouse 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 has already been generated.
