An access log is a text file that contains a thorough report on all of the files accessed by your website visitors. All of the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so when you have a PHP script application and a website visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you might find a lot of files in the log. The reason is that there are things on the home page which are embedded - parts of other webpages, images, etcetera. These files shall be listed inside the access log, so you can get a full picture of the way your website works. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are sometimes referred to as "raw data" too. An access log shows the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, plus the user’s IP address, web browser and Operating System. More information, including the referrer Internet site, is usually supplied too. A log file could be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats provided by your web server.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

When you acquire a shared hosting from our company, you will be able to decide if access logs should be created and for which domains or subdomains in your account this should be done. You may enable this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, incorporated with all shared accounts. Each domain you host or subdomain you set up shall be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to each one of them, so you can easily trigger or disable the generation of access logs separately for every single site that you have. You can save a log to your computer by clicking on the Download link you'll see within the same exact section of the CP. The link will be available even after you disable the log generation, so you shall still have access to the data collected by our system.
