An access log features a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while browsing your Internet site. The list is thorough, so in case you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log usually contains the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most well liked files on your site. The log, that's also typically referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics which you commonly get with a hosting account, not a replacement. One example why you might need this type of a log is if you intend to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s general performance, but you do not want to use the regular graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web statistics.

Access Log Manager in Web Hosting

If you buy a web hosting from us, you will be able to decide if access logs should be generated and for which domains or subdomains in your account this should be done. You could activate this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts. Every single domain you host or subdomain you set up shall be listed there and you will see an On/Off option next to each of them, so you can conveniently trigger or disable the generation of access logs independently for each site that you have. You'll be able to save a log to your PC by clicking on the Download link that you will see inside the same exact section of the CP. The link will be available even if you stop the log generation, so you shall still have access to the data collected by our system.
