To keep disk space usage to a minimum, Extro recommend you switch on your PLESK Log Rotation.

The steps below are directly from the PLESK User’s Guide:

All connections to the Web server and requests for files that were not found on the server are registered in log files. These log files are analyzed by the statistical utilities running on the server, which then present graphical reports on demand. You may want to download these log files to your computer for processing by third-party statistical utilities, or view their contents for web server debugging purposes.

To prevent these log files from growing too large, you should enable automatic cleanup and recycling of log files:

1. Go to Domains > domain name > Log Manager > Log Rotation and click Switch On. If you see only Switch off there, this means that log recycling is already switched on.
2. Specify when to recycle log files and how many instances of each log file to store on the server. Also specify whether they should be compressed and sent to an e-mail address after processing. Click OK.

To view the contents of a log file or download it to your computer:

1. Go to Domains > domain name and click Log Manager in the Hosting group. A list of log files will show.
* To specify the number of lines from the end of the log file that you would like to view, type a number into the input box under the Preferences group.
* To view the contents of a log file, click its file name.
* To download a file to your computer, click an icon corresponding to the file you need.
* To remove a processed log file from the server, select a corresponding check box and click Remove Selected. Confirm removal and click OK.

The website is set to transform the solar industry, with Fortune magazine labelling Sungevity “The Dell of Solar Energy”.

The Sungevity.com launch has caused a stir in the media, with feature articles in Fortune magazine, CNN money, Wired.com, TV News features, plus plenty of chatter on blogs all around the world.

Extro Interactive worked alongside Sydney-based Canned Ham to deliver a website that offers a new take on the residential solar industry. The site revolutionises the process of purchasing a home solar system by leveraging web 2.0 technology.

Sungevity is currently only available in California, but they are quickly expanding across the US. We hope they will be launching in Australia sometime soon!

If you want to know what people are really searching for online, go and have a play with Google Trends.

You can see how popular a search term is on Google, and it’s updated every 48 hours so you can also get up to the minute data, or view up to 4 years of historical data.
It also has a neat feature which allows you to compare multiple search terms, particularly useful for vanity checks on how often people are searching for your brands (or your competitors).

Here’s an example which should help to illustrate how it works:

clinton

obama

Now, keep in mind, the figures are a little rubbery (there isn’t even a precise scale on number of searches) but it really gives a nice overview.
