An access log is a text file that contains an extensive list of all of the files accessed by your website visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another shall be included, so if you have a PHP script application and a website visitor opens only the home page, for example, you might find numerous files in the log. The reason is that there are components on the home page that are embedded - parts of other Internet pages, images, etcetera. All these files shall be listed within the access log, allowing you to get a detailed picture of the way your Internet site functions. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are sometimes referred to as "raw data" too. An access log shows the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, and also the user’s IP address, browser and Operating System. More info, such as the referrer Internet site, is sometimes supplied too. A log file can be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats supplied by your hosting server.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs will be very simple when you buy a cloud hosting from us. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, supplied with all the accounts, features a section dedicated to different logs and that is where you shall find the access logs too. When you go there, you'll see a list of all the domains hosted within the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom made cloud hosting platform will start producing an access log for each of them the instant you click on the On button, which you'll see on the right. If you don't need logs, disabling the option is just as quick and can be accomplished by clicking on the Off button in the very same section. All the logs are downloadable, so you can conveniently save and manage them on your PC or laptop.

All it takes for our system to start generating logs is a click on the On button that you will see there. The feature can be triggered separately for any website regardless if it uses a domain or a subdomain and you'll find a detailed list of all the hosts in that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with simply a click and you can then see it manually or use some software on your PC.
