An access log features a record of all of the files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your website. The list is comprehensive, so when you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally includes the date, the OS, the web browser and the IP address for each and every file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the hottest files on your site. The log, which is also frequently referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web data which you normally get with a hosting account, not a substitute. One example why you might need this type of a log is if you want to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you do not want to use the regular graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website stats.
Access Log Manager in Hosting
Enabling the generation of access logs will be incredibly easy if you buy a hosting from us. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, supplied with all of the accounts, features a section on different logs which is where you'll find the access logs as well. Once 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 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 easy and can be done by clicking on the Off button in the same exact section. All of the logs are downloadable, therefore you can comfortably save and manage them on your desktop computer or notebook.
