An access log is a text file which contains an extensive list of all of 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 website visitor opens just the home page, for instance, you may find plenty of files inside the log. This is because there are resources on the home page that are embedded - parts of other web pages, images, and so on. These files shall be listed inside the access log, so that you can get a complete picture of the way your Internet site functions. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently referred to as "raw data" too. An access log contains the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, along with the user’s IP address, web browser and OS. Additional information, such as the referrer Internet site, is sometimes included too. A log file could be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats provided by your web server.

Access Log Manager in Website Hosting

When you get a website hosting from our company, you will be able to determine if access logs have to be generated and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You can activate this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, included with all shared accounts. Every single domain you host or subdomain you create will be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to each one of them, so you can effortlessly activate or deactivate the generation of access logs individually for every single website that you have. You'll be able to save a log to your personal computer by clicking on the Download link that you shall see inside the same exact section of the CP. The link is available even if you stop the log generation, so you will still have access to the data compiled by our system.
