An access log is a comprehensive list of all the files that were accessed by the visitors of a certain site. Any file which was requested for whatever reason will be listed, so if you have only one webpage with 3 embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, for example, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for each of the 6 files that were accessed when the website visitor opened the page. A log normally provides the file name and path, the date, as well as the visitor’s Operating System, browser and IP address. Occasionally you may also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your site. The info which an access log file contains is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a laptop or computer and used to prepare reports on the performance of an Internet site, aside from the web statistics your server may have generated.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

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