An access log is a text file that contains a complete list of all of the files accessed by your Internet site visitors. All of the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so when you have a PHP script application and a site visitor opens just the home page, for example, you may find plenty of files inside the log. The reason is that there are resources on the home page which are embedded - parts of other web pages, pics, etcetera. All of these files will be listed within the access log, so that you can get a detailed picture of the way your website works. The information is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally referred to as "raw data" too. An access log provides the name of each requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, in addition to the user’s IP address, world-wide web browser and OS. More info, including the referrer Internet site, is oftentimes provided too. A log file could be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web stats generated by your server.

Access Log Manager in Hosting

If you choose one of our hosting plans, you shall get in-depth access logs for all your websites. After you sign in to your Hepsia CP, you can go to the Access/Error Logs section in which you will see an extensive list of the domain names and subdomains that 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 every hostname and our cloud platform will start generating logs immediately. To stop this function, you will have to follow the exact same steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains could be managed individually and anytime. You can find a download link in the Logs section of the CP for every log produced by our system, so you can save the file to your desktop or notebook and view it or use it via some log processing software.
