An access log is a thorough list of all the files that were accessed by the guests of a given site. Every file that was requested for some reason shall be listed, so if you have just one page with 3 embedded graphics, one video and one embedded text file, as an illustration, the access log shall contain a total of six entries - one for each of the six files that were accessed when the site visitor opened the page. A log typically shows the file name and path, the date, plus the visitor’s Operating System, worldwide web browser and IP address. Occasionally you can also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your website. The information an access log file includes is in human-readable plain text format. It may be processed by special software on a laptop or computer and used to write reports on the functionality of an Internet site, besides the web statistics that your server may have created.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs shall be really easy if you get a cloud hosting from our company. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, included with all the accounts, has a section on different logs which is where you shall find the access logs too. When you navigate there, you shall see a list of all the domain names hosted inside the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom made cloud hosting platform will start producing an access log for any of them as soon as you click on the On button, which you will see on the right. If you don't require logs, disabling the option is just as easy and can be carried out by clicking on the Off button in the exact same section. All the logs are downloadable, therefore you can comfortably save and manage them on your desktop PC or notebook.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our sophisticated website hosting platform will create access logs for every website hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, provided that this function is enabled. All domain names and subdomains that you have will be listed in the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which we supply with all of the accounts, so if you want our system to start producing logs for any of them, you should simply click on the compact button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and change the default Off option to On. You'll be able to stop this function anytime by following the same steps. You will find a Download link for each and every log in the very same section of the CP, so you could save the content gathered by our system in .txt format with just a click. An existing log file can be downloaded even after the option has been deactivated, so you will still be able to look at the data which has already been generated.
