An access log is a text file that contains a complete report on all of the files accessed by your website visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so if you have a PHP script app and a website visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you may find plenty of files inside the log. This is because there are resources on the home page that are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, graphics, etcetera. All these files shall be listed within the access log, so you can get a detailed picture of the way your website functions. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently termed "raw data" as well. An access log contains the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, in addition to the user’s IP address, Internet browser and Operating System. Additional information, such as the referrer site, is typically supplied too. A log file could be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics generated by your server.

Access Log Manager in Hosting

If you purchase a hosting from us, you will be able to determine if access logs must be created and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this must be done. You may enable this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, which comes 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 every one of them, so you can conveniently enable or deactivate the generation of access logs individually for every site that you have. You can save a log to your computer by clicking on the Download link that you shall see inside the same exact section of the CP. The link shall be available even after you stop the log generation, so you'll still have access to the data compiled by our system.
