An access log is a complete list of all the files that were accessed by the visitors of a given website. Every single file that was requested for some reason will be listed, so if you have just one webpage with three embedded graphics, one video and one embedded text file, for instance, the access log shall contain a total of six entries - one for each of the 6 files that were accessed when the website visitor opened the webpage. A log typically offers the file name and path, the date, in addition to the visitor’s OS, worldwide web browser and IP address. In some cases you could also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The information which an access log file features is in human-readable plain text format. It could be processed by special software on a desktop machine and used to prepare reports on the functionality of a site, aside from the web statistics your web hosting server may have generated.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting

If you order a cloud hosting from our company, you'll be able to determine if access logs must be produced and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this should be done. You may enable this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, integrated with all shared accounts. Each and every domain you host or subdomain you set up shall be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to each of them, so you can effortlessly activate or deactivate the generation of access logs separately for every single website that you have. You could save a log to your computer by clicking on the Download link that you'll see inside the very same section of the CP. The link shall be available even after you disable the log generation, so you shall still have access to the data compiled by our system.
