An access log is a text file that contains a complete report on all of the files accessed by your website visitors. All the files which were requested in one way or another will be included, so if you have a PHP script application and a visitor opens only the home page, for instance, you may find plenty of files inside the log. This is because there are things on the home page which are embedded - parts of other webpages, graphics, and so forth. These files shall be listed inside the access log, so that you can get a detailed picture of the way your site functions. The info is in plain text format, so the logs are often described 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, and also the user’s IP address, web browser and Operating System. Additional information, like the referrer site, is oftentimes provided as well. A log file can be processed by various desktop apps for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics provided by your web server.

Access Log Manager in Cloud Web Hosting

When you opt for one of our cloud web hosting packages, you will get thorough access logs for your websites. As soon as you sign in to your Hepsia CP, you can check out the Access/Error Logs section in which you will see a thorough list of the domain names and subdomains which you have added or created in the web hosting account. You will only have to click on the On button, that's situated on the right-hand side of every hostname and our cloud platform will start generating logs right away. To disable this feature, you'll have to follow the same exact steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains can be managed independently and anytime. You can find a download link in the Logs section of the Control Panel for every log created by our system, allowing you to save the file to your laptop or computer and view it or use it with some log processing software.
