An access log is a text file that contains a complete list of all the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script application and a visitor opens just the home page, for instance, you might find plenty of files inside the log. This is because there are resources on the home page that are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, pics, and so on. All these files will be listed inside the access log, allowing you to get a complete picture of the way your website performs. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally called "raw data" as well. An access log shows the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, in addition to the user’s IP address, world-wide web browser and OS. More info, such as the referrer website, is oftentimes supplied as well. A log file can be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics supplied by your web server.
Access Log Manager in Shared Website Hosting
Enabling the generation of access logs shall be very simple if you purchase a shared website hosting from our company. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, which comes with all of the accounts, has a section dedicated to different logs and this is where you'll find the access logs as well. When 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 shall start producing an access log for any of them when you click on the On button, which you will see on the right. If you no longer need logs, disabling the option is just as quick and can be carried out by clicking on the Off button within the same exact section. All the logs are downloadable, so you can conveniently save and manage them on your PC or notebook.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our leading-edge website hosting platform will generate access logs for every single website hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, provided that this feature is enabled. All domains and subdomains that you have will be listed inside the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which we supply with all the accounts, so if you need our system to start generating logs for each of them, you should just click on the compact button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You can deactivate this function anytime by following the same steps. You'll find a Download link for each and every log in the very same section of the Control Panel, so you can save the content produced 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 will still be able to look at the data that's already been generated.
