An access log includes a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while exploring your Internet site. The list is detailed, so if you have a webpage with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log typically includes the date, the Operating System, the browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the most well liked files on your website. The log, that's also often called "raw data", is an addition to the web stats which you usually get with a hosting account, not an alternative. One example why you might need such a log is if you would like to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you do not want to use the conventional graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web stats.

When you host your sites inside a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you'll have the option to trigger or disable the generation of access logs with just several clicks inside your Hepsia hosting CP. You'll find this function in the Access/Error Logs section, which you can access once you sign in. All it takes for our system to start generating logs is one click on the On button that you can see there. The feature can be activated independently for any site regardless of whether it uses a domain or a subdomain and you shall find a full list of all the hosts in that section. Any access log can be downloaded as a text file with just a click and you can then look at it manually or use some software on your personal computer. The log generation may be deactivated by simply changing the On option to Off within the Logs section of your Control Panel.
