An access log contains a record of all the files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your website. The list is detailed, so in case you have a webpage with two embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log typically includes the date, the OS, the web browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the hottest files on your Internet site. The log, that's also commonly called "raw data", is an addition to the web data you usually get with a hosting account, not a substitute. A good example why you may need such a log is if you wish to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s general performance, but you don't want to use the regular graphs and tables which come with the server-generated web statistics.

Access Log Manager in Shared Web Hosting

Our custom-built Hepsia CP features a section dedicated to various logs and the access logs are among them. Once you sign in to your shared web hosting account and take a look at this section, you'll find a list of all the domain names and subdomains you have. All it takes to permit the generation of access logs is to click on a button which will be available next to each domain/subdomain. When the option is enabled, you will see a download link and also the file size so far, so you shall be able to save the file to your laptop or computer and examine it or process it with some application. Enabling or disabling the logs takes effect instantly, so if you no longer need one, you may stop it with just a click from the exact same section of the CP. You shall still be able to access the already developed content by simply clicking on the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

All it takes for our system to start creating logs is a single click on the On button that you will see there. The function can be enabled individually for any website regardless of whether it uses a domain name or a subdomain and you will find the full list of all the hosts in that section.

The log generation could be deactivated by simply changing the On option to Off in the Logs section of your Control Panel.
