An access log is a text file that contains a thorough list of all of the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All the files that were requested in one way or another will be included, so when you have a PHP script app and a site visitor opens just the home page, for example, you might find many files inside the log. It is because there are resources on the home page that are embedded - parts of other pages, graphics, and so on. All these files shall be listed within the access log, so you can get a complete picture of the way your site works. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are sometimes termed "raw data" as well. An access log contains the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, along with the user’s IP address, world-wide web browser and OS. More information, including the referrer website, is sometimes supplied too. A log file can be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics supplied by your web server.

Access Log Manager in Website Hosting

When you get a website hosting from our company, you will be able to choose if access logs must be produced and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this should be done. You could activate this function from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts. Each and every domain name you host or subdomain you set up will be listed there and you will see an On/Off option next to every one of them, so you can easily enable or disable the generation of access logs independently for each website that you have. You'll be able to save a log to your computer by clicking on the Download link you'll see within 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 compiled by our system.
