An access log features a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while browsing your website. The list is detailed, so if you have a webpage with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not just the page. An access log usually features the date, the OS, the web 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 site. The log, that's also often referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you usually get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An example why you may require this sort of a log is if you would like to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you don't want to use the regular graphs and tables that come with the server-generated site statistics.
Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting
Enabling the generation of access logs will be exceptionally easy if you buy a cloud hosting from us. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all the accounts, has a section dedicated to different logs and that is where you'll find the access logs too. Once you navigate there, you shall see a list of all the domains hosted in the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform shall start generating an access log for each of them the instant you click on the On button, which you will see on the right. If you no longer need logs, disabling the option is just as quick and can be carried out by clicking on the Off button within the exact same section. All of the logs are downloadable, so you can comfortably save and manage them on your PC or notebook.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you host your Internet sites within a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you'll have the option to enable or disable the generation of access logs with only a couple of clicks within your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You will find this feature inside the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access after you sign in. All it takes for our system to start creating logs is a single click on the On button that you will see there. The function can be triggered separately for any website regardless if it uses a domain or a subdomain and you will find a complete list of all the hosts in that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with just a click and you could then look at it manually or use some software on your personal computer. The log generation could be deactivated by simply switching the On option to Off in the Logs section of your Control Panel.
