An access log is a thorough list of all the files that were accessed by the visitors of a given site. Every file that was requested for some reason will be listed, so if you have a single page with three embedded pictures, one video and one embedded text file, for example, the access log shall contain a total of six entries - one for each of the 6 files that were accessed when the site visitor opened the page. A log usually contains the file name and path, the date, as well as the visitor’s OS, worldwide web browser and IP address. Occasionally you may also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The info that an access log file includes is in human-readable plain text format. It can also be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to write reports on the efficiency of an Internet site, independent of the web stats that your hosting server may have produced.

If you purchase a cloud hosting from our company, you will be able to determine if access logs must be generated and for which domains or subdomains inside your account this must be done. You'll be able to enable this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts. Each domain name you host or subdomain you create shall be listed there and you will see an On/Off option next to each of them, so you can effortlessly enable or deactivate the generation of access logs independently for each site that you have. You could save a log to your laptop or computer by clicking on the Download link that you will see in the same section of the CP. The link will be available even if you disable the log generation, so you'll still have access to the data compiled by our system.
