An access log features a record of all the files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your site. The list is comprehensive, so in case you have a page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally contains 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 well liked files on your Internet site. The log, that's also typically called "raw data", is an addition to the web stats that you typically get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An illustration why you might need this type of a log is if you intend to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you don't want to use the standard graphs and tables which come with the server-generated site stats.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Web Hosting

When you obtain a cloud web hosting from us, you shall be able to determine if access logs must be created and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You could enable this option from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, incorporated with all shared accounts. Each and every 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 effortlessly trigger or disable the generation of access logs independently for every website that you have. You can save a log to your personal computer by clicking on the Download link you'll see within the same section of the Control Panel. The link is available even if you deactivate the log generation, so you'll still have access to the data collected by our system.
