An access log is a comprehensive list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a given Internet site. Each and every file that was requested for whatever reason shall be listed, so if you have a single webpage with three embedded pics, one video and one embedded text file, as an illustration, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for every of the 6 files which were accessed when the website visitor opened the webpage. A log typically offers the file name and path, the date, along with the visitor’s Operating System, worldwide web browser and IP address. Occasionally you may also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your website. The info that an access log file provides is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a desktop machine and used to write reports on the overall performance of a site, in addition to the web statistics that your server may have created.

Enabling the generation of access logs shall be extremely simple if you buy a hosting from us. The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, which comes with all the accounts, features a section on different logs and that is where you shall find the access logs too. Once 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 generating an access log for each of them when you click on the On button, which you'll see on the right. If you don't need logs, disabling the option is just as easy and can be carried out by clicking on the Off button within the very same section. All the logs are downloadable, which means that you can effortlessly save and manage them on your desktop PC or notebook.
