An access log is a thorough list of all the files which were accessed by the guests of a certain website. Every file that was requested for whatever reason will be listed, so if you have just one webpage with 3 embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, as an example, the access log will contain a total of 6 entries - one for every of the six files which were accessed when the visitor opened the webpage. A log usually shows the file name and path, the date, as well as the visitor’s Operating System, Internet browser and IP address. Occasionally 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 can also be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to prepare reports on the performance of an Internet site, in addition to the web stats your hosting server may have generated.

Access Log Manager in Shared Hosting

When you purchase a shared hosting from our company, you'll be able to determine if access logs must be created and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this must be done. You can enable this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, included with all shared accounts. Each and every domain you host or subdomain you set up shall be listed there and you will see an On/Off option next to every one of them, so you can quickly trigger or disable the generation of access logs independently for every single website that you have. You could save a log to your PC by clicking on the Download link that you'll see within the very same section of the Control Panel. The link is available even after you deactivate the log generation, so you shall still have access to the data gathered by our system.
