An access log contains a record of all the files which have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your site. The list is detailed, so when you have a page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log usually contains the date, the Operating System, the browser and the IP address for each and every file in human-readable form, so you can get an idea about the most popular files on your website. The log, that is also often called "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics you usually get with a hosting account, not a substitute. One example why you may require this sort of a log is if you wish 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 conventional graphs and tables which come with the server-generated web stats.
Access Log Manager in Website Hosting
When you buy a website hosting from our company, you will be able to decide if access logs should be produced and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this should be done. You'll be able to enable this option from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, incorporated with all shared accounts. Every domain you host or subdomain you set up will be listed there and you will see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can quickly activate or deactivate the generation of access logs separately for every single site that you have. You could save a log to your PC by clicking on the Download link that you shall see in the same exact section of the Control Panel. The link will be available even if you deactivate the log generation, so you will still have access to the data collected by our system.
