An access log is a comprehensive list of all the files which were accessed by the visitors of a particular website. Each and every file which was requested for some reason shall be listed, so if you have one webpage with 3 embedded images, one video and one embedded text file, as an illustration, the access log shall contain a total of six entries - one for each of the 6 files which were accessed when the site visitor opened the webpage. A log normally offers the file name and path, the date, in addition to the visitor’s OS, worldwide web browser and IP address. Occasionally you can also find the referrer websites that sent the visitors to your Internet site. The info which an access log file contains is in human-readable plain text format. It can be processed by special software on a personal computer and used to write reports on the overall performance of a site, independent of the web stats which your hosting server may have produced.

All it takes to enable the generation of access logs is to click on a button that'll be available next to every domain/subdomain. If the option is enabled, you'll see a download link together with the file size so far, so you will be able to save the file to your PC and view it or process it with some app. Enabling or disabling the logs takes effect instantaneously, so if you don't need one, you can stop it with a click from the very same section of the Control Panel.

Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our state-of-the-art web hosting platform shall create access logs for each and every website hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account, provided that this feature is permitted.

An existing log file could be downloaded even after the function has been disabled, so you'll still be able to see the data that's already been generated.
