An access log is a text file containing a thorough list of all of the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so when you have a PHP script program and a website visitor opens just the home page, for example, you might find numerous files inside the log. This is because there are elements on the home page that are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, images, and so on. These files will be listed in the access log, allowing you to get a complete picture of the way your Internet site works. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are sometimes described as "raw data" too. An access log shows the name of every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, and also the user’s IP address, world-wide web browser and Operating System. Additional information, including the referrer website, is oftentimes included too. A log file can be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats generated by your hosting server.
Access Log Manager in Web Hosting
Enabling the generation of access logs will be really easy when you get a web hosting from us. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, provided with all of the accounts, features a section on different logs and that is where you will find the access logs as well. As soon as you navigate there, you will see a list of all the domains hosted in the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom cloud hosting platform will start creating an access log for any of them the instant you click on the On button, which you will see on the right. If you no longer need logs, disabling the option is just as simple and can be done by clicking on the Off button within the same section. All the logs are downloadable, which means that you can easily save and manage them on your PC or notebook.

If you host your sites in a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will have the option to enable or disable the generation of access logs with just a few mouse clicks in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.

All it takes for our system to start producing logs is one click on the On button you'll see there. The function can be triggered independently for any Internet site regardless of whether it uses a domain or a subdomain and you will find a full list of all the hosts in that section.
