An access log includes a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your website. The list is thorough, so when you have a webpage with two embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not just the page. An access log typically features the date, the OS, the Internet browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the most popular files on your website. The log, that's also commonly referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you typically get with a hosting account, not a replacement. A good example why you could need this sort of a log is if you wish to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you don't want to use the conventional graphs and tables that come with the server-generated site statistics.
Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting
If you acquire a cloud hosting from our company, you will be able to choose if access logs should be created and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You may enable this feature 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 will be listed there and you will see an On/Off option next to every one of them, so you can easily trigger or disable the generation of access logs independently for each website that you have. You could save a log to your PC by clicking on the Download link that you shall see in the very same section of the Control Panel. The link will be available even if you stop the log generation, so you will still have access to the data compiled by our system.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our state-of-the-art hosting platform shall generate access logs for every website hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account, assuming that this function is permitted. All domain names and subdomains that you have will be listed inside the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, that we supply with all the accounts, so if you want our system to start generating logs for any of them, you should simply click on the compact button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You could deactivate this function whenever you want by following the very same steps. You can find a Download link for each log within the same exact section of the Control Panel, so you may save the content generated by our system in .txt format with no more than a mouse click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the option has been deactivated, so you will still be able to check out the data that has already been generated.
