An access log includes a record of all files that have been requested by the visitors while surfing around your site. The list is detailed, so if you have a web page with two embedded images, for instance, all of the three files shall be in the log, not only the page. An access log typically contains the date, the OS, the web browser and the IP address for every file in human-readable form, so you can get a more complete picture about the hottest files on your site. The log, that is also commonly referred to as "raw data", is an addition to the web data which you typically get with a hosting account, not a replacement. One example why you could need this sort of a log is if you want to use some software on your computer system to prepare a report about the website’s efficiency, but you do not want to use the conventional graphs and tables that come with the server-generated web stats.

All it takes to allow the generation of access logs is to press a button which will be available next to each and every domain/subdomain. If the option is enabled, you will see a download link together with the file size so far, so you shall be able to save the file to your computer and examine it or process it with some app. Enabling or disabling the logs takes effect right away, so if you don't need one, you could stop it with simply a click from the very same section of the Control Panel. You'll still have the ability to access the already created content by simply clicking on the Download link.
Access Log Manager in Semi-dedicated Hosting
