An access log is a detailed list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a certain website. Each and every file which was requested for whatever reason shall be listed, so if you have just one webpage with 3 embedded pictures, 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 which were accessed when the visitor opened the page. A log usually shows the file name and path, the date, as well as the visitor’s OS, worldwide web browser and IP address. Sometimes you could also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your website. The data which an access log file includes is in human-readable plain text format. It can also be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to prepare reports on the efficiency of an Internet site, in addition to the web stats which your hosting server may have produced.

Access Log Manager in Website Hosting

Enabling the generation of access logs shall be really simple when you acquire a website hosting from our company. The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, included with all of the accounts, features a section on different logs and this is where you will find the access logs too. As soon as you navigate there, you shall see a list of all the domains hosted within the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom made cloud hosting platform shall start creating an access log for any of them as early as you click on the On button, which you will see on the right. If you don't require logs, disabling the option is just as fast and can be accomplished by clicking on the Off button inside the same exact section.

All it takes for our system to start generating logs is a single click on the On button that you can see there. The function can be activated independently 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.
