An access log is a text file which contains a full list of all the files accessed by your site visitors. All the files that were requested in one way or another shall be included, so if you have a PHP script app and a visitor opens only the home page, for example, you might find many files in the log. This is because there are things on the home page that are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, pics, and so on. These files shall be listed in 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 occasionally termed "raw data" too. An access log provides the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, as well as the user’s IP address, browser and Operating System. More info, such as the referrer website, is typically provided too. A log file can be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats supplied by your website hosting server.
Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting
When you choose one of our shared hosting solutions, you shall get thorough access logs for all your sites. As soon as you sign in to your Hepsia CP, you can go to the Access/Error Logs section in which you will see a thorough list of the domain names and subdomains that you have added or created within the hosting account. You'll only need to click on the On button, that is situated on the right-hand side of each hostname and our cloud platform shall start generating logs straight away. To disable this feature, you will have to follow the exact same steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains can be handled separately and anytime.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with us, it won't take more than a few clicks to enable the generation of access logs by our system if you need them. The function can be activated via the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and this may be done separately for each and every domain name or subdomain you have inside your account. As soon as you log in and look at the Access/Error Logs section of the CP, you will find a list of all the hostnames with an On/Off button next to every one of them. A single click will enable the log generation and another one will deactivate it, so you can control this function with great comfort. A Download link within the same section will permit you to save the generated content as a text file, which you can then use on your PC. Whether or not the logs are deactivated, you shall still be able to download the data which has been previously generated.
