An access log includes a record of all files which have been requested by the visitors while browsing your website. The list is comprehensive, so if you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not just the page. An access log normally contains the date, the Operating System, the Internet browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most well liked files on your site. The log, that is also commonly called "raw data", is an addition to the web data that you usually get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An example why you could need this type of a log is if you would like to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you don't want to use the conventional graphs and tables which come with the server-generated website statistics.

Access Log Manager in Shared Web Hosting

If you obtain a shared web hosting from us, you will be able to decide if access logs should be produced and for which domains or subdomains in your account this must be done. You can activate this option from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts. Every single domain name you host or subdomain you create shall be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can effortlessly activate or disable the generation of access logs individually for every site that you have. You could save a log to your PC by clicking on the Download link that you'll see within the exact same section of the CP. The link shall be available even if you stop the log generation, so you shall still have access to the data collected by our system.
