An access log is a text file which contains a full report on all the files accessed by your website visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script program and a visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you might find numerous files in the log. This is because there are resources on the home page which are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, graphics, and so forth. These files will be listed inside the access log, so you can get a full picture of the way your Internet site performs. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are sometimes described as "raw data" too. An access log shows the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, in addition to the user’s IP address, web browser and OS. More info, including the referrer website, is typically provided as well. A log file can be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats provided by your server.

Access Log Manager in Website Hosting

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