An access log contains a record of all of the files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your site. The list is comprehensive, so in case you have a page with 2 embedded images, for instance, all of the three files will be in the log, not just the page. An access log usually features the date, the OS, the Internet browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the hottest files on your site. The log, that is also often referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web data that you commonly get with a hosting account, not a substitute. One example why you might need this sort of a log is if you intend to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you do not want to use the conventional graphs and tables which come with the server-generated web statistics.

Access Log Manager in Shared Web Hosting

If you purchase a shared web hosting from our company, you shall be able to determine if access logs have to be created and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this must be done. You'll be able to enable this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, included with all shared accounts. Every single domain name you host or subdomain you set up shall be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can effortlessly enable or deactivate the generation of access logs separately for every site that you have. You could save a log to your laptop or computer by clicking on the Download link you'll see within the very same section of the CP. The link is available even after you disable the log generation, so you will still have access to the data compiled by our system.
