An access log is a detailed list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a particular website. Any file that was requested for whatever reason shall be listed, so if you have one page with three embedded pics, one video and one embedded text file, for instance, the access log will contain a total of 6 entries - one for each of the 6 files which were accessed when the site visitor opened the webpage. A log normally offers the file name and path, the date, in addition to the visitor’s OS, Internet browser and IP address. Occasionally you could also find the referrer websites that sent the visitors to your site. The info which an access log file contains is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a desktop machine and used to prepare reports on the efficiency of an Internet site, aside from the web statistics your hosting server may have created.
Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting
If you get a shared hosting from our company, you will be able to determine if access logs have to be generated and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this should be done. You may enable this function from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, included with all shared accounts. Every single domain name you host or subdomain you set up shall be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to each one of them, so you can conveniently activate or disable the generation of access logs individually for every site that you have. You may save a log to your personal computer by clicking on the Download link you'll see in the exact same section of the CP. The link will be available even after you deactivate the log generation, so you shall still have access to the data collected by our system.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our sophisticated website hosting platform will create access logs for each and every site hosted within a semi-dedicated server account, as long as this feature is activated. All domain names and subdomains that you have will be listed within the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which we offer with all of the accounts, so if you want our system to start creating logs for any of them, you should simply click on the little button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and change the default Off option to On. You'll be able to deactivate this function whenever you want by following the same steps. You'll find a Download link for every single log inside the same exact section of the CP, so you will be able to save the content produced by our system in .txt format with just a click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the feature has been deactivated, so you'll still be able to view the data which has already been generated.
