An access log is a complete list of all the files that were accessed by the visitors of a particular Internet site. Each and every file that was requested for some reason will be listed, so if you have a single webpage with 3 embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, for instance, the access log shall contain a total of six entries - one for any of the six files which were accessed when the site visitor opened the page. A log usually shows the file name and path, the date, in addition to the visitor’s Operating System, web browser and IP address. Sometimes you could also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your site. The info which an access log file includes is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a desktop machine and used to write reports on the performance of a website, independent of the web stats your hosting server may have created.

Access Log Manager in Hosting

When you pick one of our hosting solutions, you shall get in-depth access logs for your sites. After you sign in to your Hepsia CP, you can check out the Access/Error Logs section where you will see a complete list of the domains and subdomains you have added or created within the web hosting account.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it will not take more than several clicks to permit the generation of access logs by our system if you require them. The feature can be enabled through the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this may be done separately for each domain or subdomain you have inside your account. Whenever you log in and visit 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 each of them. One click shall trigger the log generation and another one will deactivate it, so you can control this feature with great efficiency. A Download link within the same section will permit you to save the created content as a text file, which you can then use on your laptop or computer. Whether or not the logs are deactivated, you'll still be able to download the data which has been previously generated.
