An access log contains a record of all of the files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your website. The list is thorough, so when you have a page with two embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log normally includes the date, the OS, the Internet browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most well liked files on your Internet site. The log, that is also frequently called "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics that you normally get with a hosting account, not a substitute. One example why you may need this sort of a log is if you would like to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you don't want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web statistics.

Access Log Manager in Website Hosting

If you obtain a website hosting from our company, you shall be able to decide if access logs have to be generated and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You could activate this function from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts. Each and every domain you host or subdomain you set up will be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to every one of them, so you can conveniently trigger or disable the generation of access logs separately for each website that you have. You could save a log to your laptop or computer by clicking on the Download link that you'll see inside the exact same 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 compiled by our system.
