An access log contains a record of all the files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your site. The list is comprehensive, so if you have a webpage with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log normally contains the date, the Operating System, the browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the hottest files on your site. The log, that is also typically called "raw data", is an addition to the web data that you typically get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An illustration why you could need this kind 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 do not want to use the standard graphs and tables which come with the server-generated site statistics.
Access Log Manager in Shared Web Hosting
When you obtain a shared web hosting from our company, you'll be able to choose if access logs have to be created and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this should be done. You could activate this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, integrated with all shared accounts. Every domain name you host or subdomain you create shall be listed there and you will see an On/Off option next to each one of them, so you can conveniently enable or deactivate the generation of access logs individually for every single site that you have. You can save a log to your PC by clicking on the Download link that you'll see inside the same exact section of the Control Panel. The link is available even after you deactivate the log generation, so you'll still have access to the data compiled by our system.
