An access log is a text file that contains a thorough list of all the files accessed by your site visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script program and a website visitor opens just the home page, for instance, you may find plenty of files in the log. This is because there are elements on the home page which are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, pictures, and so forth. All these files shall be listed in the access log, so you can get a detailed picture of the way your website performs. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are sometimes referred to as "raw data" too. An access log contains the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, web browser and OS. More info, like the referrer site, is sometimes provided too. A log file may be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics supplied by your website hosting server.
Access Log Manager in Shared Web Hosting
When you order a shared web hosting from us, you'll be able to decide if access logs should be generated and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You may activate this function from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, integrated with all shared accounts. Each domain you host or subdomain you set up shall be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to every one of them, so you can easily trigger or disable the generation of access logs separately for each website that you have. You'll be able to save a log to your personal computer by clicking on the Download link that you will see within the same section of the Control Panel. The link shall be available even after you disable the log generation, so you shall still have access to the data compiled by our system.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our leading-edge website hosting platform will create access logs for any Internet site hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as long as this function is activated. All domains and subdomains that you have shall be listed within the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, that we supply with all the accounts, so if you need our system to start producing logs for any of them, you should just click on the little button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You'll be able to stop this function at any time by following the exact same steps. You will find a Download link for each log in the same section of the Control Panel, so you can save the content gathered by our system in .txt format with simply a click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the function has been disabled, so you will still be able to look at the data which has already been generated.
