When you are using the Cloud Sites platform, a third-party vendor might require an outbound IP address in order to add your domain to their safe list. Because sites do not get a dedicated IP address by default, you must provide the vendor with a list of potential outbound IP addresses. The outbound IP addresses you provide depend on the data center where your site data is stored. To determine which data center your site is in, view the test URL for your site in your Cloud Sites control panel.

A subdomain shares your domain, but adds a third-level domain and can function like a whole separate website. Subdomains have domain names that look like blog.mysite.com. Plesk manages each subdomain as if it were its own website. You can create a completely different look and feel on a subdomain. Creating subdomains is useful if you want to have an online store, blog, or forum. You can create as many subdomains as you want on a main domain.

Cloud Sites treats subdomains as its own website. You can create them the same way you create any other website.

A certificate signing request (CSR) is information generated by your server that is necessary to apply for a SSL certificate. It contains information about your website, but it’s encoded. Instead of trying to learn the notation and encode a CSR yourself, the Cloud Sites control panel can do all that for you. All you have to do is enter your information.
