An access log features a record of all files which have been requested by the visitors while browsing your Internet site. The list is detailed, so when you have a page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log typically features the date, the Operating System, the Internet browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the hottest files on your website. The log, that is also often named "raw data", is an addition to the web stats which you normally get with a hosting account, not a substitute. An illustration why you may need this type of a log is if you want to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you do not want to use the typical graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website stats.
Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting
When you obtain a cloud hosting from our company, you will be able to determine if access logs must be generated and for which domains or subdomains in your account this should be done. You'll be able to activate this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, incorporated with all shared accounts. Every single domain name you host or subdomain you set up will be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to each of them, so you can effortlessly enable or deactivate the generation of access logs individually for each website that you have. You may save a log to your computer by clicking on the Download link you'll see within the exact same section of the CP. The link is available even if you stop the log generation, so you will still have access to the data compiled by our system.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account with us, you will have the option to activate or disable the generation of access logs with just a few clicks in your Hepsia hosting CP. You shall find this feature inside the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access after you sign in. All it takes for our system to start creating logs is a click on the On button that you can see there. The function can be triggered separately for any site no matter if it uses a domain name or a subdomain and you'll find a detailed list of all the hosts inside that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with just a click and you could then look at it manually or use some software on your personal computer. The log generation may be disabled by simply switching the On option to Off in the Logs section of your Control Panel.
