An access log is a complete list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a certain Internet site. Every single file that was requested for whatever reason will be listed, so if you have only one page with three embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, for example, the access log shall contain a total of six entries - one for any of the 6 files that were accessed when the site visitor opened the page. A log usually offers the file name and path, the date, as well as the visitor’s Operating System, browser and IP address. Sometimes you could also find the referrer sites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The data which an access log file provides is in human-readable plain text format. It could be processed by special software on a laptop or computer and used to write reports on the efficiency of a site, aside from the web statistics your server may have created.

If you opt for one of our cloud website hosting solutions, you shall get thorough access logs for all your sites. Once you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you can go to the Access/Error Logs section in which you will see a thorough list of the domain names and subdomains you have added or created within the hosting account. You'll simply have to click on the On button, that's situated on the right-hand side of each and every hostname and our cloud platform will start generating logs immediately. To stop this function, you will have to follow the very same steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains can be managed separately and whenever you want. You can find a download link in the Logs section of the CP for every log created by our system, so that you can save the file to your PC and view it or use it through some log processing software.
