An access log is a comprehensive list of all the files that were accessed by the guests of a particular website. Every file that was requested for whatever reason shall be listed, so if you have a single webpage with three embedded graphics, one video and one embedded text file, as an example, the access log will contain a total of six entries - one for every of the 6 files that were accessed when the website visitor opened the page. A log usually offers the file name and path, the date, as well as the visitor’s OS, worldwide web browser and IP address. Sometimes you could also find the referrer websites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The info that an access log file includes is in human-readable plain text format. It may be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to prepare reports on the overall performance of a site, in addition to the web statistics your server may have produced.

Access Log Manager in Web Hosting

When you buy a web hosting from us, you shall be able to decide if access logs have to be generated and for which domains or subdomains in your account this should be done. You could activate this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, included with all shared accounts. Any domain you host or subdomain you set up will be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can effortlessly trigger or deactivate the generation of access logs separately for every single website that you have. You can save a log to your laptop or computer by clicking on the Download link you'll see inside the same exact section of the Control Panel. The link is available even if you disable the log generation, so you will still have access to the data gathered by our system.
