An access log contains a record of all files which have been requested by the visitors while exploring your website. The list is detailed, so if you have a web page with two embedded images, for example, all of the three files will be in the log, not just the page. An access log normally includes the date, the OS, the browser and the IP address for every single file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most well liked files on your website. The log, that is also typically called "raw data", is an addition to the web stats that you commonly get with a hosting account, not a replacement. An illustration why you could need such a log is if you intend to use some software on your computer to prepare a report about the website’s functionality, but you do not want to use the standard graphs and tables that come with the server-generated website statistics.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Website Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs shall be incredibly simple when you get a cloud website hosting from us. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, which comes with all the accounts, has a section dedicated to different logs which is where you will find the access logs as well. Once you navigate there, you shall see a list of all the domains hosted in the account and the subdomains created for them. Our customized cloud hosting platform will start creating an access log for each of them as early as you click on the On button, that you will see on the right. If you don't need logs, disabling the option is just as fast and can be accomplished by clicking on the Off button within the very same section. All the logs are downloadable, which means that you can conveniently save and manage them on your desktop computer or notebook.
