An access log is a complete list of all the files which were accessed by the guests of a particular Internet site. Each and every file that was requested for whatever reason will be listed, so if you have just one webpage with three embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, as an illustration, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for each of the 6 files which were accessed when the website visitor opened the page. A log usually contains the file name and path, the date, plus the visitor’s Operating System, Internet browser and IP address. In some cases you may also find the referrer websites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The data that an access log file includes is in human-readable plain text format. It could be processed by special software on a laptop or computer and used to write reports on the efficiency of a site, aside from the web stats that your web hosting server may have produced.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Web Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs will be exceptionally simple if you buy a cloud web hosting from our company. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all of the accounts, has a section dedicated to different logs and this is where you shall find the access logs as well. Once you go there, you'll see a list of all the domain names hosted within the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform shall start generating an access log for any of them as soon as you click on the On button, which you'll see on the right. If you don't 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, which means that you can easily save and manage them on your desktop computer or laptop.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it shall not take more than a couple of clicks to enable the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The feature can be permitted from the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and this can be done independently for each and every domain name or subdomain that you have in your account. As soon as you log in and look at the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you'll discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to all of them. One click will trigger the log generation and another one shall deactivate it, so you can control this function with great simplicity. A Download link inside the same section will enable you to save the created content as a text file, which you could then use on your laptop or computer. Whether or not the logs are deactivated, you will still be able to download the data that's been previously generated.
