An access log is a thorough list of all the files which were accessed by the guests of a given site. Every single file that was requested in some way shall be listed, so if you have a single webpage with three embedded pictures, one video and one embedded text file, for example, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for every of the 6 files that were accessed when the website visitor opened the page. A log usually shows the file name and path, the date, plus the visitor’s Operating System, browser and IP address. Oftentimes you can also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your website. The data an access log file features is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to prepare reports on the functionality of a website, aside from the web stats that your server may have produced.
Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting
Enabling the generation of access logs shall be incredibly easy when you purchase a cloud hosting from our company. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, provided with all the accounts, has a section on different logs which is where you shall find the access logs too. Once you go there, you'll see a list of all the domain names hosted in the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform will start producing an access log for any of them the instant you click on the On button, which you'll see on the right. If you don't require logs, disabling the option is just as fast and can be carried out by clicking on the Off button in the same exact section. All the logs are downloadable, so you can comfortably save and manage them on your PC or notebook.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks to enable the generation of access logs by our system if you require them. The function can be permitted via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and this may be done individually for every single domain name or subdomain which you have within your account. When you log in and look at the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you will discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to every one of them. One click shall enable the log generation and another one will disable it, so you can control this function with great comfort. A Download link within the same section will allow you to save the created content as a text file, that you may then use on your computer. Even when the logs are deactivated, you will still be able to download the data that's been previously generated.
