An access log is a comprehensive list of all the files that were accessed by the visitors of a particular website. Any file which was requested for some reason will be listed, so if you have only one page with three embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, for example, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for every of the 6 files which were accessed when the site visitor opened the webpage. A log typically contains the file name and path, the date, in addition to the visitor’s Operating System, browser and IP address. In some cases you may also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your website. The data an access log file provides is in human-readable plain text format. It may be processed by special software on a laptop or computer and used to prepare reports on the overall performance of an Internet site, aside from the web statistics which your web hosting server may have produced.

Access Log Manager in Hosting

If you pick one of our hosting solutions, you shall get comprehensive access logs for your sites. When you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you can go to the Access/Error Logs section where you will see an extensive list of the domain names and subdomains which you have added or created within the web hosting account. You'll only need to click on the On button, that's found on the right-hand side of each and every hostname and our cloud platform will start generating logs immediately. To stop this feature, you'll need to follow the same exact steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains could be managed independently and anytime. You'll find a download link in the Logs section of the CP for any log produced by our system, so that you can save the file to your PC and view it or use it through some log processing software.
