An access log is a text file containing a complete report on all the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All the files that were requested in one way or another shall be included, so if you have a PHP script app and a website visitor opens only the home page, for example, you may find many files inside the log. It is because there are elements on the home page that are embedded - parts of other pages, pics, etcetera. These files shall be listed within the access log, so you can get a complete picture of the way your website performs. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are sometimes called "raw data" too. An access log shows the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, in addition to the user’s IP address, web browser and Operating System. More info, such as the referrer site, is sometimes supplied too. A log file may be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats supplied by your web server.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs will be incredibly simple when you acquire a cloud hosting from us. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, which comes with all of the accounts, has a section dedicated to different logs and that is where you will find the access logs as well. As soon as you navigate there, you shall see a list of all the domains hosted in the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom made cloud hosting platform will start generating an access log for each of them as soon as you click on the On button, which you'll see on the right. If you no longer need logs, disabling the option is just as fast and can be carried out by clicking on the Off button inside the same section. All the logs are downloadable, which means that you can easily save and manage them on your PC or notebook.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you host your websites inside a semi-dedicated server account with us, you'll have the option to activate or disable the generation of access logs with only a few mouse clicks within your Hepsia hosting CP. You'll find this feature within the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access as soon as you sign in. All it takes for our system to start creating logs is a click on the On button that you'll see there. The feature can be activated independently for any website regardless if it uses a domain or a subdomain and you shall find the full list of all the hosts within that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with a click and you could then view it manually or use some software on your personal computer. The log generation can be stopped by simply switching the On option to Off inside the Logs section of your CP.
