An access log is a text file that contains an extensive list of all of the files accessed by your site visitors. All of the files that were requested in one way or another shall be included, so when you have a PHP script program and a website visitor opens just the home page, for example, you may find many files in the log. The reason is that there are resources on the home page which are embedded - parts of other webpages, images, and so on. All of these files will be listed within the access log, allowing you to get a detailed picture of the way your site functions. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are frequently referred to as "raw data" as well. An access log contains the name of each and every 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, such as the referrer website, is typically provided too. A log file could be processed by various desktop programs for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics provided by your server.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our state-of-the-art hosting platform will create access logs for each and every site hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, as long as this function is permitted. All domain names and subdomains that you have shall be listed within the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which we provide with all the accounts, so if you would like our system to start producing logs for each of them, you should simply click on the little button on the right side of the respective domain/subdomain and switch the default Off option to On. You'll be able to disable this feature anytime by following exactly the same steps. You will find a Download link for every single log in the very same section of the CP, so you will be able to save the content produced by our system in .txt format with simply a mouse click. An existing log file could be downloaded even after the function has been deactivated, so you'll still be able to see the data which has already been generated.
