An access log is a text file containing a complete list of all of the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another shall be included, so if you have a PHP script application and a site visitor opens just the home page, for instance, you might find numerous files in the log. It is because there are components on the home page that are embedded - parts of other pages, graphics, etcetera. All of these files will be listed within the access log, so you're able to get a complete picture of the way your Internet site performs. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally described as "raw data" as well. An access log provides the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, in addition to the user’s IP address, browser and OS. More information, such as the referrer 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 provided by your web server.
Access Log Manager in Shared Website Hosting
Enabling the generation of access logs shall be extremely simple if you get a shared website hosting from us. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, supplied with all of the accounts, has a section dedicated to different logs and that is where you shall find the access logs as well. Once you navigate there, you'll 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 creating an access log for each of them as early as you click on the On button, that you will see on the right. If you don't require logs, disabling the option is just as simple and can be accomplished by clicking on the Off button within the same section. All the logs are downloadable, so you can easily save and manage them on your desktop computer or notebook.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it will not take more than a few mouse clicks to permit the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The function could be permitted through the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this can be done individually for every single domain name or subdomain you have within your account. When you log in and look at the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you will find a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to all of them. A single click will enable the log generation and another one shall deactivate it, so you can control this feature with great convenience. A Download link within the same section will enable you to save the generated content as a text file, which you can then use on your computer system. Whether or not the logs are disabled, you shall still be able to download the data which has been previously generated.
