An access log features a record of all the files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your Internet site. The list is comprehensive, so in case you have a webpage with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally includes the date, the Operating System, the Internet browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most well liked files on your website. The log, which is also frequently referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web data you commonly get with a hosting account, not a replacement. A good example why you could need this type of a log is if you intend to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you do not want to use the conventional graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website statistics.
Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting
If you obtain a cloud hosting from our company, you'll be able to choose if access logs have to be produced and for which domains or subdomains in your account this should be done. You may enable this function from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, integrated with all shared accounts. Each domain you host or subdomain you create will be listed there and you will see an On/Off option next to each of them, so you can quickly trigger or deactivate the generation of access logs independently for every website that you have. You may save a log to your laptop or computer by clicking on the Download link that you will see inside the very same section of the CP. The link will be available even after you disable the log generation, so you will still have access to the data gathered by our system.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, it will not take more than a couple of mouse clicks to permit the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The feature could be activated via the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and this may be done separately for every single domain or subdomain that you have inside your account. Once you log in and visit the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you'll discover a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to each of them. A single click will trigger the log generation and a second one shall deactivate it, so you can control this function with great efficiency. A Download link inside the same section will allow you to save the created content as a text file, which you could then use on your laptop or computer. Even if the logs are deactivated, you will still be able to download the data that's been previously generated.
