An access log is a comprehensive list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a particular Internet site. Any file that was requested for whatever reason will be listed, so if you have only one webpage with three embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, as an example, the access log will contain a total of 6 entries - one for each of the 6 files that were accessed when the visitor opened the webpage. A log usually offers the file name and path, the date, along with the visitor’s OS, worldwide web browser and IP address. Occasionally you could also find the referrer websites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The info that an access log file provides is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a laptop or computer and used to write reports on the efficiency of an Internet site, independent of the web statistics your web hosting server may have produced.

Access Log Manager in Hosting

When you pick one of our hosting packages, you’ll receive detailed access logs for your Internet sites. Once you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you can go to the Access/Error Logs section where you will see a full list of the domain names and subdomains that you've added or created inside the hosting account. You'll only need to click on the On button, which is located on the right-hand side of every hostname and our cloud platform will start generating logs at once. To stop this feature, you'll have to follow the very same steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains can be handled individually and at any time. You can find a download link inside the Logs section of the CP for any log produced by our system, so you can save the file to your PC and view it or use it through some log processing software.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks to permit the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The feature could be enabled from the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this can be done individually for each and every domain name or subdomain which you have within your account. As soon as you log in and go to the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you'll see a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to every one of them. One click shall activate the log generation and a second one shall deactivate it, so you can control this feature with great simplicity. A Download link in the same section will enable you to save the created content as a text file, which you may then use on your laptop or computer. Even when the logs are deactivated, you shall still be able to download the data that's been previously generated.
