An access log is a text file that contains a thorough report on all the files accessed by your site visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another will be included, so when you have a PHP script program and a visitor opens just the home page, for example, you may find a lot of files inside the log. It is because there are components on the home page which are embedded - parts of other pages, pics, and so on. All these files shall be listed in the access log, allowing you to get a detailed picture of the way your site functions. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are sometimes described as "raw data" too. An access log provides the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, plus the user’s IP address, browser and Operating System. More info, such as the referrer site, is typically supplied as well. A log file could be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics generated by your web server.

Access Log Manager in Web Hosting

If you buy a web hosting from us, you shall be able to determine if access logs must be produced and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this must be done. You could enable this function from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts. Each domain name you host or subdomain you set up will be listed there and you'll see an On/Off option next to every one of them, so you can quickly trigger or disable the generation of access logs individually for each site that you have. You can save a log to your personal computer by clicking on the Download link that you shall see in the same exact section of the Control Panel. The link is available even if you stop the log generation, so you will still have access to the data collected by our system.
