An access log contains a record of all the files which have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your site. The list is thorough, so in case you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for instance, 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 each file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most well liked files on your site. The log, which is also commonly referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics you usually get with a hosting account, not a replacement. A good example why you may need this kind of a log is if you intend to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s general performance, but you do not want to use the typical graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website statistics.
Access Log Manager in Hosting
Enabling the generation of access logs will be really easy if you acquire a hosting from us. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, included with all the accounts, has a section dedicated to different logs which is where you shall find the access logs as well. As soon as you navigate there, you shall see a list of all the domains hosted inside the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform will start generating an access log for any of them when 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 accomplished by clicking on the Off button in the same section. All of the logs are downloadable, so you can comfortably save and manage them on your desktop computer or notebook.
