An access log is a comprehensive list of all the files that were accessed by the guests of a particular website. Every single file which was requested for some reason shall be listed, so if you have a single webpage with three embedded pictures, one video and one embedded text file, as an illustration, the access log shall contain a total of six entries - one for any of the 6 files that were accessed when the website visitor opened the page. A log normally provides the file name and path, the date, plus the visitor’s Operating System, Internet browser and IP address. Occasionally you could also find the referrer websites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The information that an access log file includes is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a laptop or computer and used to prepare reports on the functionality of a website, aside from the web statistics which your server may have produced.

Access Log Manager in Hosting

When you obtain a hosting from us, you will be able to determine if access logs must be created and for which domains or subdomains in your account this should be done. You could enable this option from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, incorporated with all shared accounts. Every single domain name you host or subdomain you set up shall be listed there and you will see an On/Off option next to every one of them, so you can effortlessly trigger or deactivate the generation of access logs independently for each website that you have. You may save a log to your computer by clicking on the Download link that you will see within the exact same section of the CP. The link shall be available even if you deactivate the log generation, so you will still have access to the data collected by our system.
