An access log contains a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your site. The list is thorough, so if 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 usually includes the date, the Operating System, the web browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most well liked files on your Internet site. The log, that's also commonly referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web data you typically get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An illustration why you might need this sort of a log is if you would like to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you don't want to use the regular graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website statistics.

Access Log Manager in Website Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs will be incredibly easy when you purchase a website hosting from us. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, included with all of the accounts, has a section on different logs which is where you'll find the access logs as well. As you go there, you shall see a list of all the domains hosted within the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform will start generating 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 need logs, disabling the option is just as quick and can be done by clicking on the Off button in the exact same section. All of the logs are downloadable, which means that you can comfortably save and manage them on your PC or laptop.
