An access log contains a record of all the files which have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your website. The list is thorough, so when you have a page with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log typically contains the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most well liked files on your website. The log, that's also frequently called "raw data", is an addition to the web statistics you typically get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An example why you could need this type of a log is if you want 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 that come with the server-generated site statistics.
Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting
Enabling the generation of access logs shall be really simple if you get a shared hosting from our company. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all the accounts, features a section on different logs which is where you shall find the access logs as well. As you go there, you will see a list of all the domains hosted within the account and the subdomains created for them. Our customized cloud hosting platform will start producing an access log for each of them as early as you click on the On button, which you'll see on the right. If you no longer need logs, disabling the option is just as fast and can be accomplished by clicking on the Off button in the very same section. All of the logs are downloadable, which means that you can effortlessly save and manage them on your desktop computer or notebook.
