An access log features a record of all of the files that have been requested by the visitors while browsing your website. The list is comprehensive, so if you have a page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log typically features the date, the OS, the web browser and the IP address for each and every file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most popular files on your website. The log, which is also often called "raw data", is an addition to the web data you typically get with a hosting account, not a replacement. One example why you may need such a log is if you wish to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s general performance, but you do not want to use the standard graphs and tables which come with the server-generated site statistics.

Access Log Manager in Shared Web Hosting

When you purchase a shared web hosting from our company, you shall be able to choose if access logs should be produced and for which domains or subdomains in your account this should be done. You can activate this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, incorporated with all shared accounts. Every domain name you host or subdomain you set up will be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can quickly trigger or deactivate the generation of access logs individually for each website that you have. You could save a log to your laptop or computer by clicking on the Download link that you'll see inside the exact same section of the Control Panel. The link is available even after you disable the log generation, so you will still have access to the data compiled by our system.
