An access log is a complete list of all the files that were accessed by the guests of a given website. Each and every file which was requested for whatever reason will be listed, so if you have only one webpage with 3 embedded graphics, one video and one embedded text file, for example, the access log will contain a total of six entries - one for any of the 6 files that were accessed when the visitor opened the webpage. A log usually contains the file name and path, the date, plus the visitor’s Operating System, browser and IP address. Oftentimes you could also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your site. The info that an access log file includes is in human-readable plain text format. It may be processed by special software on a PC and used to prepare reports on the overall performance of a website, aside from the web statistics which your web hosting server may have created.

Access Log Manager in Shared Website Hosting

When you get a shared website hosting from our company, you will be able to decide if access logs should be generated and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this should be done. You could enable this option from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, integrated with all shared accounts. Every single domain name you host or subdomain you create shall be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can easily trigger or disable the generation of access logs individually for every site that you have. You'll be able to save a log to your computer by clicking on the Download link that you shall see in the exact same section of the Control Panel. The link shall be available even if you deactivate the log generation, so you will still have access to the data compiled by our system.
