An access log contains a record of all files which have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your Internet site. The list is thorough, so in case you have a web page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log typically includes the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for each file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most well liked files on your website. The log, which is also frequently called "raw data", is an addition to the web stats which you usually get with a hosting account, not a replacement. One example why you may need this type of a log is if you want to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s general performance, but you don't want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web stats.
Access Log Manager in Shared Website Hosting
Enabling the generation of access logs will be extremely simple if you get a shared website hosting from our company. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, supplied with all of the accounts, features a section on different logs which is where you will find the access logs too. When you navigate there, you will see a list of all the domains hosted inside the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom made cloud hosting platform will start creating an access log for any of them as early as you click on the On button, which you will see on the right. If you no longer need logs, disabling the option is just as fast and can be accomplished by clicking on the Off button inside the same section. All the logs are downloadable, so you can comfortably save and manage them on your desktop computer or laptop.
