An access log is a text file containing an extensive report on all the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another shall be included, so when you have a PHP script app and a site visitor opens just the home page, for instance, you may find numerous 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, so that you can get a detailed picture of the way your website performs. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally described as "raw data" as well. An access log contains the name of every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, and also the user’s IP address, web browser and OS. Additional information, including the referrer Internet site, is usually provided too. A log file could be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics generated by your website hosting server.
Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting
Enabling the generation of access logs shall be really simple if you purchase a shared hosting from us. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all the accounts, has a section dedicated to different logs and this is where you will find the access logs as well. As you go there, you'll see a list of all the domains hosted in the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform will start creating an access log for each of them the instant you click on the On button, which you will see on the right. If you no longer require logs, disabling the option is just as fast and can be accomplished by clicking on the Off button inside the same section. All the logs are downloadable, so you can effortlessly save and manage them on your desktop PC or laptop.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our advanced hosting platform shall generate access logs for each website hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account, assuming that this function is activated. All domains and subdomains that you have shall be listed within the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, that we supply with all the accounts, so if you'd like our system to start generating logs for any of them, you should simply click on the small button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and change the default Off option to On. You may deactivate this feature anytime by following the very same steps. You'll find a Download link for each log in the exact same section of the Control Panel, so you may save the content gathered by our system in .txt format with simply a click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the feature has been disabled, so you will still be able to look at the data which has already been generated.
