An access log features a record of all files which have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your website. The list is comprehensive, so in case you have a page with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log typically features the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the most popular files on your site. The log, that is also frequently called "raw data", is an addition to the web stats you commonly get with a hosting account, not a replacement. One example why you may require this kind of a log is if you want to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you do not want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web stats.
Access Log Manager in Cloud Web Hosting
Enabling the generation of access logs shall be extremely simple when you buy a cloud web hosting from our company. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, included with all the accounts, has a section on different logs and this is where you'll find the access logs too. As you navigate there, you shall see a list of all the domain names hosted inside the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform will start producing an access log for any of them as soon as you click on the On button, which you'll see on the right. If you don't need logs, disabling the option is just as fast and can be carried out by clicking on the Off button inside the very same section. All the logs are downloadable, which means that you can easily save and manage them on your PC or notebook.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it won't take more than several mouse clicks to enable the generation of access logs by our system if you require them. The function may be permitted via the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and this may be done separately for each domain name or subdomain which you have inside your account. When you log in and visit the Access/Error Logs section of the Control Panel, you'll see a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to each one. A single click will activate the log generation and another one shall disable it, so you can control this feature with great efficiency. A Download link in the same section will permit you to save the created content as a text file, that you could then use on your notebook or computer. Even when the logs are disabled, you shall still be able to download the data that has been previously generated.
