VPS is, simply put, an acronym that stands for Virtual Private Server. In short, VPS utilizes virtualization technology which enables “fragmentation” of a single powerful server into several virtual ones. Each of those virtual servers acts as a complete physical server and that’s what makes VPS such an important service. The word “private” indicates that those resources are reserved for you, therefore, you’re not sharing memory, CPU power or data with other users.
Reseller web hosting enables you to set up your own web hosting business under your own name. When you apply for a reseller hosting account, you lease a certain amount of SSD disk space and monthly traffic which you can then distribute among your users. You can choose your own account limitations, as well as the price you’ll set for your clients.
MySQL is often one of the main problematic areas for hosting companies. Keeping MySQL stable can be tricky, and users sending requests to the base can slow everything down. That’s where MySQL Governor comes in. Its ability to pinpoint problematic users and limit them in real time is unprecedented in the industry as of yet. Offering support to the latest versions of MySQL and MariaDB, CloudLinux is an imperative part of any shared hosting.
SSL certificates are used for protecting the data between the visitor and the server where the website is located. This means that SSL certificates enable safe online credit/debit card payments, protect the domain and company location information.
The duration of a domain transfer can be divided into two groups:
.hr i com.hr domains The transfer of these domain extensions is the quickest. Prior to the transfer, the current registrar of the domain must unlock it for transfer, and an order for transfer must be placed with MyDataKnox. After the payment is complete, you’ll receive an e-mail containing a link for transfer confirmation. As soon as you click on the link in the e-mail and confirm the transfer, it should be executed in a matter of minutes.
.com, .net, .org, .biz, .info and other extensions The transfer of these domains takes 5 to 7 days. Prior to the transfer, the current registrar of the domain must unlock it for transfer and request an EPP authorization code which enables the transfer. After you’ve received the EPP code, you can place a domain transfer order with MyDataKnox. After the payment is complete, you’ll receive an e-mail containing a link for transfer confirmation. As soon as you click on the link in the e-mail, the process of transferring the domain from your previous registrar to MyDataKnox will start. It usually takes up to 7 days for the transfer to be completed. If you want to transfer your domain to MyDataKnox, you can start the process here
cPanel builds on WHM, and, unlike WHM which is designed for the administration of the server and all its accounts, cPanel is a control panel for the end user, i.e. a centre for managing individual hosting accounts.
Some basic benefits of cPanel are:
simple installation of hundreds of different scripts and web applications, such as WordPress, Joomla, various forums, project management systems, etc.
quick e-mail account management and access to an e-mail interface
creation of an FTP account for the purpose of accessing server files
autonomous creation of a backup copy with just a few clicks
easy addition of new domains and creation of subdomains
assignment of a completely free SSL certificate to each domain
an overview of detailed statistical information regarding the number of views of hosted websites
user-friendly management of DNS zones within user accounts
mobile display of the cPanel interface enables account access and management from any part of the world
selection of the preferred PHP version separately for each domain
automated installation of popular CMS systems in just a few clicks
The main prerequisite is being an existing user of the Veeam backup service, which means that you need to have a Veeam console which enables you to connect to the Cloud Connect Backup service.
Before your domain expires, if it’s active, you’ll receive an automatic offer to renew it 30 days before it expires. You’ll also receive several reminders for domain renewal payment.
An SSL certificate is a cryptographic protocol which increases the level of online data security between visitors of a website and the server where the site is located. In other words, SSL is the encryption of data from readable text to coded text which can be read only by using a decoding key. This enables secure communication and protection of the user’s confidential personal information and financial data.
In simple terms, we could describe a DNS as a domain address book. Just like you would use an address book to look up information related to a particular person or company by name, the same goes for domains, since they also have an “address”. When you type our address mydataknox.com in your browser, your computer uses DNS to retrieve the data about the IP addresses linked to our domain. Afterwards, your computer requests the IP address of our web server, which, finally, sends the web page to your browser. To summarise, DNS connects symbolic domain names, such as the mydatakno.com domain, with the IP address of the server where the domain-related content is located.
In order to check the number of users on your cPanel server, all you need to do is log in to WHM on the server and click on “List accounts”. The page that will open will display all the users on that server and their total number.
MyDataKnox doesn’t access your VPS data and therefore doesn’t create backup copies. In order to securely backup your content, you need to use one of our cloud backup service or your own solution. MyDataKnox is not responsible for any data that might be lost due to your lack of a backup copy.
MyDataKnox premium support is a service consisting of expanded technical support for virtual and dedicated servers and encompasses additional activities in relation to standard support.
Server management requires basic server administrator knowledge. You’ll need it to administrate the operating system you’ll install (Linux or Windows) and configure the applications. If you require a dedicated server, but feel that you lack the technical skills needed to manage a server, we recommend that you take a look at our Premium support service.
MyDataKnox dedicated servers are delivered without add-ons, but you can lease cPanel and other licenses from us. MyDataKnox support team will help you prepare the server and install cPanel or a free CentOS Web panel.
A domain transfer costs as much as the renewal of that domain. When a domain is being transferred, it is also automatically renewed for another year, starting from the date of expiration of its current lease period. You can find the pricing of domain transfers here.
PHP Selector enables your users to select a specific PHP version that they require for their hosting account. PHP Selector provides premium flexibility by offering the users all the popular versions of PHP, which enables them to keep old scripts without the obligation to use newer PHP versions or change the code of their website. The administrator manages PHP versions available to the users, as well as all available PHP extensions, and each user selects a PHP version using the interface and activates/deactivates extensions as necessary.
Simply put, a domain is the address of your websites. Web hosting is a service of placing website on servers that are globally accessible online and which serves your websites to their visitors.
Generally speaking, content migration is your responsibility, however, our support team will execute the migration for you if it involves transferring content from one cPanel to another, or from one CentOS Web Panel to another. You are free to contact our support team regarding anything else and if your need specific answers.
You can, by using third-party tools, such as Code Two or IMAP Sync, i.e. manually migrating your user mailbox. You can always contact our support team if you need assistance.
Of course. You can upgrade any MyDataKnox web hosting package to a larger one or choose a smaller one at any time. All you have to do is request a change of package in the MyDataKnox user system, and the modification will be performed automatically upon payment of the price difference between your existing package and a larger one, or automatically when you request a smaller package. In case you wish to change the type of your web hosting package, e.g. exchange a Standard hosting package for an Advanced one, our support team will perform the task for you completely free of charge.
Should the included time be exceeded, each additional activity which is not part of the regular, i.e. ordinary MyDataKnox support will be charged for at a price of HRK 200 per hour, or the equivalent amount in a foreign currency. This price doesn’t include VAT and the billing unit is 30 minutes.
* The nameservers for MyDataKnox DNS service are not the same as the nameservers for web hosting packages.
If you want to point a domain to your MyDataKnox web hosting package, follow these instructions.
Nameservers of MyDataKnox DNS service for users are:
mdns1.mydataknox.com
mdns2.mydataknox.com
By directing the domain to the specified nameservers, you will be able to manage the DNS records for the same, if the domain is registered or transferred within the MyDataKnox system.
From the perspective of the end user, the main difference between web hosting and a VPS/dedicated server is the fact that a web hosting service is designed and optimised solely for the purpose of serving websites within a leased hosting package and comes with certain limitations regarding options such as installing your own applications, whereas a VPS server, as well as a dedicated server, is configurable and can be used for a variety of things, such as installing your own business solutions (CRM and ERP systems, cash register systems, etc.).
You can use all the letters of the alphabet, numbers and hyphens. Even though it’s possible for domain names to contain special characters, such as letters used in languages other than English (e.g. š, đ, ž, ć, č), this should be avoided.
If you’re paying using a credit/debit card or PayPal, the service will be ready momentarily. If you’re paying through online banking, i.e. via bank transaction, we’ll launch the server as soon as the amount appears on our account, or as soon as you send us a payment confirmation. In order to accelerate the process of installation following a bank transaction payment, please send us the payment confirmation to our e-mail address info@mydataknox.com

The price of cPanel licenses is set according to the number of users on a particular cPanel server. The licenses are available for VPS and dedicated servers that are now named Cloud and Metal, the difference being that for the dedicated server package, i.e. the Metal package, the minimum amount of users per package is 100, whereas the Cloud package for VPS servers offers two cheaper licenses: a Cloud Admin license which can host up to 5 users per cPanel server, and a Cloud Pro license which can host up to 30 users per cPanel server. Packages for up to 100 users are the same for VPS and dedicated servers.
The MyDataKnox Veeam Cloud Connect Backup service ensures a backup repository on a remote location, within the MyDataKnox cloud, that you can access through your Veeam console.
Cloudlinux OS offers great stability-related features:
LVE virtual environment LVE is a kernel-level technology developed by the CloudLinux team which operates in a way similar to container virtualization. The LVE Manager enables you to maintain precise control over your server’s resources, including CPU, IO, memory, inodes, the number of processes and connections that each individual cPanel account can use. Thanks to CloudLinux, you can ensure for your customers the resources they leased without depriving other users from their resources.

Starting in 2025, a condition for successful registration of .hr and .com.hr domains is verification of the domain owner’s data, which means that the user is required to provide evidence that the owner’s data entered when ordering the domain is correct. You can read details about the verification process below.
Why do I have to prove that my information is correct?
According to the Cybersecurity Act , published on February 7, 2024, the Registry and registrars of .hr domains are obliged to determine the exact identity of domain users during registration based on secure and credible systems and data sources, i.e. to verify users.
How is verification done?
The verification process in MyDataKnox is performed after payment of the offer upon completion of the domain order.
After paying for the offer, the MyDataKnox system starts a verification process consisting of three steps:
You will receive an email to your email address with a link to verify your ordered .hr and .com.hr domains.
When opening the link, you are allowed to select the document you want to attach as proof of identity.
After you attach the document, a PDF statement will be generated with an overview of your information as the domain owner and the document attached in the previous step.
By clicking the confirm button, your verification is saved in the MyDataKnox system.
MyDataKnox support confirms or rejects the verification.
If the verification is confirmed, your domain is registered and the verification process is complete. In case of verification rejection, you will receive an email stating the reason for the rejection and a new link to repeat the verification process.
What documents can I use for verification?
The attached document must be one of the following:
PERSONS
ID card (both sides)
passport
certificate of residence issued by the competent authority (digitally signed or stamped)
driver’s license
a statement by a natural person digitally signed with a verified digital signature (with the stated purpose and data: name, surname, personal identification number)
LEGAL ENTITIES
ID card of the person authorized to represent the legal entity
passport of the person authorized to represent the legal entity
certificate of residence issued by a competent authority (digitally signed or stamped) of the person authorized to represent the legal entity
driver’s license of the person authorized to represent the legal entity
statement of the person authorized to represent the legal entity digitally signed with a verified digital signature (with the stated purpose and data: name, surname, OIB/VAT)
document or statement with the signature and seal of the legal entity (for the stated purpose, it is necessary to provide information about the legal entity: name, OIB/VAT)
Frequently asked questions
What if I don’t verify my identity? In case of unsuccessful verification, MyDataKnox will refund the amount paid for the domain, and the domain will not be registered.
I clicked on the verification link, but I got the message “Your verification token has expired” If you see a token expiration message, it means that more than 72 hours have passed since the verification email was sent and you need to request a new verification. Simply click on the “Request New Verification” button and the process will start over
I attached a document, but I received the message “Invalid file format. Allowed formats are: …” If you see this message, it means that the attached document is in a format that we do not accept. Simply return to the verification form and attach the document in an allowed format. Allowed formats are listed in the document submission form, and certainly include JPEG and PNG formats.
What information do I need to confirm during the verification process? The information that is confirmed by your acceptance of the information on the generated PDF statement is: Name and surname, address, e-mail address, OIB (Croatian Tax Identification Number), and phone number. All of the above information is required for the successful registration of .hr and .com.hr domains.
You can check whether a domain name is available through our websites using this link. There are a few universal rules regarding the selection of a domain name:
Choose a clear, unique and easily memorable domain name
The name should link you or your company with the domain itself in as few characters as possible
The domain name should not contain hyphens, numbers or special characters, unless it is strictly necessary
The name should be easy to pronounce
Make sure that the domain name is not registered or trademarked (e.g. eBay, etc.)

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR REGISTRATION OF A .COM.HR DOMAIN .com.hr are paid domains, available for registration to all legal and natural persons in the Republic of Croatia. The number of .com.hr domains that you can register is unlimited, and you can perform the registration here
NAME REQUIREMENTS FOR .COM.HR DOMAINS There are no requirements in terms of domain names (apart from technical requirements regulated by Carnet’s Ordinance). Considering the fact that there are no special requirements in terms of a domain name, the users must adhere to the Ordinance insofar as to refrain from registering domains that would violate intellectual property rights (trademarks and brand names). Those types of domains must not be sold nor provided to third parties. Should it become established that a domain is being exclusively or mostly used by a person not registered as its user, the domain will be deleted.
The MyDataKnox L-series dedicated servers are usually ready as soon as you make the payment upon receiving an offer, whereas the XL-series is installed on an individual basis by our technical staff and takes up to 48 hours from the date of payment.
The license for the Veeam Cloud Connect service is defined according to the number of virtual servers you want to backup and the size of the leased MyDataKnox backup repository.
CloudLinux OS is the leading platform for multi-user hosting environments. Server stability and security is achieved by isolating each hosting user account and appointing host resources individually to each account. Using CloudLinux you create an environment that is more similar to a virtual host than a shared hosting account. Therefore, it’s important to implement and use the CloudLinux OS for every shared hosting, since it will prevent any user from affecting your server and its performance.
Hosted Exchange is a cloud platform which provides you with a reliable e-mail service, along with a significant cost reduction, since there are no initial investments in server infrastructure and licenses, and the monthly fee is completely transparent and defined by the number of open e-mail accounts.
