An access log includes a record of all the files which have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your site. The list is detailed, so if you have a webpage with 2 embedded images, for example, all of the three files shall be in the log, not just the page. An access log normally contains the date, the OS, the web browser and the IP address for each and every file in human-readable form, so you can get a good idea about the most well liked files on your site. The log, that is also often called "raw data", is an addition to the web stats you normally get with a hosting account, not an alternative. A good example why you may require this type of a log is if you intend to use some software on your PC to prepare a report about the website’s overall performance, but you do not want to use the standard graphs and tables which come with the server-generated site statistics.

The Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, which comes with all the accounts, has a section dedicated to different logs which is where you shall find the access logs as well. When you navigate there, you'll see a list of all the domain names hosted in the account and the subdomains created for them. Our custom made cloud hosting platform shall start generating an access log for each of them as early as you click on the On button, which you'll see on the right. If you no longer require logs, disabling the option is just as simple and can be done by clicking on the Off button inside the same section. All of the logs are downloadable, which means that you can comfortably save and manage them on your desktop PC or laptop.
