Description
When adding or editing a Plesk Server using the Plesk module, "IP Address" is requested. Instead, this field should say "Hostname" similar to other shared hosting modules.
Ensure also that any error checking allows for an IP address or hostname. It appears as though a hostname is not currently allowed.
One reason for this is that an SSL certificate on the Plesk server will always complain when connecting via the IP.

Yes, we'll have to add another field for hostname, and the hostname field will be used exclusively for the welcome email.

NOTE! It may not be possible to change the IP address field to a hostname, Plesk may require an IP address, and this is likely the reason it was implemented this way to start with.
