An access log is a thorough list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a given website. Any file that was requested for some reason shall be listed, so if you have one page with 3 embedded pics, one video and one embedded text file, for instance, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for each of the 6 files which were accessed when the visitor opened the webpage. A log usually provides the file name and path, the date, along with the visitor’s Operating System, web browser and IP address. Oftentimes you may also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The info which an access log file contains is in human-readable plain text format. It may be processed by special software on a laptop or computer and used to prepare reports on the performance of an Internet site, independent of the web statistics which your hosting server may have produced.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Web Hosting

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

All it takes for our system to start creating logs is a click on the On button which you will see there. The function can be triggered individually for any Internet site regardless if it uses a domain or a subdomain and you will find a detailed list of all the hosts in that section.

The log generation could be stopped by simply switching the On option to Off inside the Logs section of your CP.
