An access log is a thorough list of all the files that were accessed by the visitors of a certain website. Every single file that was requested for some reason will be listed, so if you have just one webpage with 3 embedded pics, one video and one embedded text file, as an example, the access log will contain a total of 6 entries - one for any of the 6 files that were accessed when the website visitor opened the webpage. A log usually shows the file name and path, the date, plus the visitor’s Operating System, web browser and IP address. Occasionally you may also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The data which an access log file features is in human-readable plain text format. It can also be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to prepare reports on the performance of a site, besides the web stats which your web hosting server may have produced.

Enabling the generation of access logs will be really easy when you purchase a cloud web hosting from us. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, provided with all of the accounts, features a section on different logs and that is where you shall find the access logs as well. When you go there, you will see a list of all the domain names hosted in the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform shall start generating an access log for any of them as soon 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 fast and can be done by clicking on the Off button within the exact same section. All of the logs are downloadable, therefore you can easily save and manage them on your desktop computer or notebook.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our advanced web hosting platform shall generate access logs for each and every site hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, provided that this function is activated. All domain names and subdomains that you have will be listed inside the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which we offer with all of the accounts, so if you need our system to start generating logs for each of them, you should just click on the compact button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You can stop this function whenever you want by following the same steps. You will find a Download link for each log inside the exact same section of the CP, so you can easily save the content generated by our system in .txt format with just a mouse click. An existing log file may be downloaded even after the option has been disabled, so you will still be able to view the data which has already been generated.
