An access log is a comprehensive list of all the files that were accessed by the guests of a particular website. Every single file that was requested in some way will be listed, so if you have just one page with three embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, for example, the access log shall contain a total of 6 entries - one for any of the 6 files that were accessed when the site visitor opened the webpage. A log normally shows the file name and path, the date, along with the visitor’s Operating System, web browser and IP address. Occasionally you could also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your 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 prepare reports on the performance of an Internet site, besides the web statistics which your server may have produced.

The Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, provided with all the accounts, has a section on different logs which is where you will find the access logs as well. As you navigate there, you shall see a list of all the domains hosted in the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom made cloud hosting platform will start creating an access log for any of them when you click on the On button, that you will see on the right. If you no longer need logs, disabling the option is just as simple and can be done by clicking on the Off button in the same section. All the logs are downloadable, which means that you can comfortably save and manage them on your desktop computer or notebook.
