A subdomain is a secondary name you can use, for example, to have different websites for territories or functions. You don’t need to pay a registration fee for subdomains, as you already own the domain. You could, for example, have “forums.yourdomain.co.za” or “help.yourdomain.co.za” instead, or the more common "www.yourdomain.co.za".

A VPS (or a 'Virtual Private Server') is just like a dedicated server, but instead of having a dedicated piece of hardware, each server is divided up into 'virtual' servers so you share the same hardware with other customers. Each customer has their own operating system so you get the benefits of a virtual server, at a fraction of the cost. With a VPS the resources of the server will be split between different websites or hosting accounts. VPS packages come in various sizes depending on your requirements and you can choose your operating system just like with dedicated servers. Read more about VPS and Dedicated Servers

POP3 and IMAP are two different protocols (methods) used to access email.
Of the two, IMAP is the recommended option when you need to check your emails from multiple devices, such as a work laptop, a PC, a tablet, smartphone, or another mobile device. IMAP will sync the account across all devices to ensure that you do not miss anything. When creating new folders to manage your mailbox accordingly on one device, it will reflect on the others once they have been synced (updated).
There are two methods of setting up your email address. You could either set it up by allowing Outlook to search for the relevant settings automatically or you could go the manual route.
In Outlook you will need to click on "File" and then "Add Account".
You can use POP or IMAP to access many different types of accounts, including Office 365 and Outlook.com. If you have an email account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP), you can use one of these two account types to access your email.
Most accounts use IMAP, but a few may use POP. You'll need a variety of settings before you start to set up your account, including incoming and outgoing mail server names, ports, and SSL settings. For many popular email account types, you can find those settings in our POP and IMAP server name reference. If your email provider isn’t listed there, contact your ISP’s technical support or your email administrator”.

Google's little spiders crawl the internet, assessing all content and will index your site based on a set of factors. In fact, there are many factors that are taken into consideration by Google when indexing and ranking sites. Factors such as industry, age of website and the search engine optimisation (SEO) features are among them. So if your site is brand new, it can often take a few months to start ranking for keywords. You definitely will be listed on Google in time. A higher ranking takes time and constant effort.
