An access log features a record of all the files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your site. The list is comprehensive, so in case you have a web 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 browser and the IP address for each and every file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the hottest files on your website. The log, that is also typically referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web data which you usually get with a hosting account, not an alternative. A good example why you may require this type of a log is if you would like to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you don't want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website stats.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

Our in-house built Hepsia CP has a section focused on various logs and the access logs are among them. As you sign in to your shared hosting account and navigate to this section, you'll find a list of all the domains and subdomains that you have. All it takes to enable the generation of access logs is to press a button that will be available next to each domain/subdomain. If the option is enabled, you shall see a download link along with the file size so far, so you shall be able to save the file to your computer and view it or process it with some application. Enabling or disabling the logs becomes effective instantly, so if you no longer need one, you could stop it with only a mouse click from the same exact section of the CP. You will still have the ability to access the already created content by simply clicking the Download link.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our leading-edge web hosting platform will generate access logs for any website hosted within a semi-dedicated server account, provided that this function is permitted. All domains 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'd like our system to start generating logs for each of them, you should just click on the little button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You'll be able to disable this function anytime by following exactly the same steps. You will find a Download link for each and every log inside the same exact section of the CP, so you can save the content generated by our system in .txt format with simply a click. An existing log file may be downloaded even after the option has been deactivated, so you'll still be able to view the data that's already been generated.
