An access log is a comprehensive list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a certain Internet site. Every single file which was requested for some reason will be listed, so if you have just one webpage with 3 embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, as an illustration, the access log will contain a total of 6 entries - one for every of the six files which were accessed when the site visitor opened the webpage. A log normally provides the file name and path, the date, as well as the visitor’s OS, Internet browser and IP address. In some cases you can also find the referrer Internet sites that sent the visitors to your website. The information an access log file provides is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a laptop or computer and used to prepare reports on the performance of a website, besides the web stats that your web hosting server may have generated.

You will simply need to click on the On button, that's found on the right-hand side of every hostname and our cloud platform will start generating logs straight away. To disable this function, you'll need to follow the same exact steps and click on the Off button. The domains and subdomains could be handled independently and at any time. You will find a download link inside the Logs section of the CP for any log produced by our system, so that you can save the file to your personal computer and view it or use it through some log processing software.
