An access log features a record of all the files which have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your Internet site. The list is thorough, so if you have a web page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not only the page. An access log typically includes the date, the Operating System, the browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the most well liked files on your website. The log, that is also commonly named "raw data", is an addition to the web stats which you usually get with a hosting account, not an alternative. A good example why you may need this type of a log is if you wish to use some software on your personal computer to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you don't want to use the conventional graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website statistics.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Website Hosting

If you purchase a cloud website hosting from us, you'll be able to choose if access logs have to be produced and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this must be done. You could activate this function from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, incorporated with all shared accounts. Every domain you host or subdomain you set up shall be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can quickly enable or disable the generation of access logs individually for each site that you have. You may save a log to your PC by clicking on the Download link that you shall see within the very same section of the Control Panel. The link is available even after you stop the log generation, so you will still have access to the data collected by our system.
