An access log is a text file which contains a thorough report on all of the files accessed by your website visitors. All of the files which were requested in one way or another shall be included, so if you have a PHP script program and a site visitor opens just the home page, for instance, you might find plenty of files in the log. It is because there are elements on the home page which are embedded - parts of other web pages, pics, etcetera. All of these files shall be listed within the access log, so you can get a detailed picture of the way your site performs. The data is in plain text format, so the logs are occasionally described as "raw data" as well. An access log provides the name of each and every requested file, the path to it, the date it was accessed, plus the user’s IP address, browser and OS. Additional information, such as the referrer website, is typically provided too. A log file can be processed by various desktop applications for statistical purposes as an addition to the web statistics generated by your hosting server.

You'll be able to activate this feature from the Access/Error Logs section of the Hepsia CP, integrated with all shared accounts. Any domain name you host or subdomain you create will be listed there and you see an On/Off option next to each and every one of them, so you can effortlessly trigger or deactivate the generation of access logs individually for every single site that you have. You could save a log to your PC by clicking on the Download link you'll see in the same section of the CP. The link will be available even if you deactivate the log generation, so you shall still have access to the data gathered by our system.
