An access log is a detailed list of all the files that were accessed by the guests of a given Internet site. Any file that was requested in some way shall be listed, so if you have just one page with 3 embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, as an example, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for any of the six files that were accessed when the visitor opened the page. A log typically provides the file name and path, the date, plus the visitor’s OS, browser and IP address. Occasionally you could also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your website. The data that an access log file features is in human-readable plain text format. It can also be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to prepare reports on the performance of an Internet site, besides the web stats your server may have produced.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting

If you choose one of our cloud hosting plans, you’ll receive thorough access logs for your websites. After you sign in to your Hepsia CP, you can go to the Access/Error Logs section where you will see a thorough list of the domain names and subdomains which you have added or created within the web hosting account. You'll only need to click on the On button, which is situated on the right-hand side of every hostname and our cloud platform shall start generating logs right away. To disable this function, you will have to follow the exact same steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains could be managed separately and at any time. You will find a download link in the Logs section of the CP for any log generated by our system, so that you can save the file to your personal computer and view it or use it via some log processing software.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our advanced web hosting platform shall create access logs for any website hosted within a semi-dedicated server account, as long as this feature is activated. All domain names and subdomains that you have shall be listed in the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, that we offer with all of the accounts, so if you would like our system to start producing logs for each of them, you should simply click on the compact button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and change the default Off option to On. You can disable this function at any time by following the same steps. You will find a Download link for every single log within the same exact section of the CP, so you will be able to save the content generated by our system in .txt format with just a click. An existing log file can be downloaded even after the option has been deactivated, so you'll still be able to see the data that's already been generated.
