An access log is a text file that contains a thorough report on all the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another will be included, so when you have a PHP script application and a visitor opens just the home page, for instance, you might find many files in the log. This is because there are resources on the home page that are embedded - parts of other webpages, images, and so forth. These files will be listed inside the access log, allowing you to get a complete picture of the way your Internet site functions. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are often referred to as "raw data" too. An access log provides the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, along with the user’s IP address, world-wide web browser and OS. More info, including the referrer Internet site, is typically included too. A log file can be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats created by your server.

Access Log Manager in Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs shall be exceptionally easy if you get a hosting from us. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, which comes with all the accounts, features a section on different logs and this 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 cloud hosting platform shall start generating an access log for each of them as early as you click on the On button, which you'll see on the right. If you don't require logs, disabling the option is just as simple and can be carried out by clicking on the Off button inside the exact same section. All the logs are downloadable, therefore you can easily save and manage them on your desktop PC or laptop.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your websites inside a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you shall have the option to trigger or disable the generation of access logs with no more than a few mouse clicks inside your Hepsia hosting CP.

All it takes for our system to start producing logs is a single click on the On button that you'll see there. The function can be activated separately for any website no matter if it uses a domain name or a subdomain and you will find a detailed list of all the hosts within that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with a click and you can then look at it manually or use some software on your laptop or computer. The log generation could be deactivated by simply switching the On option to Off inside the Logs section of your Control Panel.
