An access log contains a record of all files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your site. The list is detailed, so if you have a web page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log typically contains the date, the Operating System, the browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the hottest files on your Internet site. The log, that's also commonly named "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics you typically get with a hosting account, not a substitute. An example why you might need this type of a log is if you would like to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s performance, but you do not want to use the conventional graphs and tables which come with the server-generated site statistics.

Access Log Manager in Website Hosting

Our custom-built Hepsia CP has a section dedicated to various logs and the access logs are among them. Once you sign in to your website hosting account and take a look at this section, you will find a list of all the domain names and subdomains that you have. All it takes to allow the generation of access logs is to press a button that will be available next to every single domain/subdomain. In case the option is enabled, you'll see a download link along with the file size so far, so you will be able to save the file to your PC and examine it or process it with some app. Enabling or disabling the logs becomes effective immediately, so if you no longer require one, you could stop it with simply a mouse click from the very same section of the CP. You will still be able to access the already developed content by clicking on the Download link.
