An access log is a complete list of all the files that were accessed by the visitors of a particular website. Every single file which was requested for whatever reason will be listed, so if you have a single webpage with three embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, as an illustration, the access log will contain a total of 6 entries - one for each of the 6 files that were accessed when the website visitor opened the webpage. A log typically contains the file name and path, the date, as well as the visitor’s OS, browser and IP address. Sometimes you may also find the referrer websites that sent the visitors to your site. The data which an access log file features is in human-readable plain text format. It may be processed by special software on a PC and used to prepare reports on the overall performance of an Internet site, besides the web statistics that your web hosting server may have produced.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Website Hosting

If you pick one of our cloud website hosting plans, you will receive comprehensive access logs for all of your sites. As soon as you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you should check out the Access/Error Logs section in which you will see a full list of the domain names and subdomains which you have added or created within the hosting account. You'll only have to click on the On button, which is situated on the right-hand side of each and every hostname and our cloud platform shall start generating logs straight away. To disable this function, you'll have to follow the exact same steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains can be handled individually and anytime. You can find a download link within the Logs section of the CP for any log created by our system, allowing you to save the file to your computer system and view it or use it via some log processing software.
