MyDataKnox provides you a complementary DNS hosting service with every server. You can access all DNS settings at your MyDataKnox user website.

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:

1. You will receive an email to your email address with a link to verify your ordered .hr and .com.hr domains.
2. When opening the link, you are allowed to select the document you want to attach as proof of identity.
3. 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.
4. By clicking the confirm button, your verification is saved in the MyDataKnox system.
5. MyDataKnox support confirms or rejects the verification.
6. 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

1. 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.
2. 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
3. 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.
4. 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 need an SSL certificate in the following cases:

• you have a web shop
• you accept credit/debit card payments (or other forms of payment)
• you provide an online service for which your subscribers pass a sign-up process
• your website requires the entry of user log-in information
• you transfer private data online
• you want to inspire confidence with your visitors and users

When you order VPS, you can select your preferred operating system (Linux or Windows). You can see the entire list of available operating systems on our website.

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.

VPS 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 VPS, 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.

Of course! You can quickly and easily upgrade your reseller hosting package at any time. All you have to do is send an inquiry to our support team indicating the package you want. Afterwards, our support team will create an offer for the payment of the price difference between the existing and the new package. Your package will become active upon its payment.

A domain name is arbitrary and you can use any name you prefer, as long as a domain with that name hasn’t already been registered. You can check the availability of your preferred domain here.

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.

If you require a specifically configured server or your websites have a large number of visitors, then VPS is the right solution for you. VPS can be completely adapted to meet your needs and provide you with a lot more control over your hosting environment than a web hosting service. On the other hand, if your require an installation of a special software such as CRM, ERP or similar systems, VPS provides you complete freedom of installation and configuration of such applications.

CloudLinux resolves many issues that hosting companies and individuals face. Here are a few:

• The server is loaded and losing resources
  LVE virtualization offers you control over server resources, including the CPU, IO, memory, inodes, the number of processes and connections that each individual cPanel account can use.
• Server breaches and malicious scripts
  CageFS isolates every user and makes them invisible to each other within the system. It also prevents a great number of attacks, including most attacks performed through privilege escalation.
• The user requires different PHP versions
  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.
• MySQL server is overloaded
  MySQL Governor pinpoints problematic users and limits them in real time. It’s an unprecedented solution in the industry.
• Symbolic link attacks
  SecureLinks prevents all known symlink attacks at the kernel level.

The premium support service includes:

• physical hardware management, monitoring and exchange
• ensured network availability
• free installation of the cPanel control panel or CentOS Web Panel (hereinafter “Panel”) during the initial server configuration
• optimisation of the operating system during the initial server configuration
• free initial security arrangements
• free transfer of initial accounts from a remote system with the same control panel upon the initial server configuration
• management of all aspects of the operating system, assistance and resolution of all issues related to the operating system and standard control panel components
• MyDataKnox support, with the best intentions and within our possibilities, regarding third-party applications that don’t affect the operability of the Panel or the operating system
• provision of support through a remote system is not supported

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
• management of SQL databases and users.

An account, often referred to as “the cPanel user” or “cPanel account” is an account used by the end user for logging into the cPanel interface in order to manage their website or e-mail. It should be pointed out that the total number of users on a cPanel server, in terms of licenses, is determined by the number of active and suspended users on that server. Therefore, cPanel checks the number of users on a server and counts them, whether they are active or suspended.

DNS hosting is included in the following services:

• VPS servers
• Dedicated servers
• Cloud hosting
• Registered and transferred domains

There are a few factors that indicate that it’s time to get a VPS:

• YOU’RE CONCERNED WITH SECURITY
  If you require additional security options, such as improved webpage stability, autonomous firewall management, privacy for online payments or similar needs, it’s time to consider VPS hosting.
• THE NUMBER OF VISITORS OF YOUR WEBSITES IS RAPIDLY INCREASING
  When they’re still new, most websites require only the existing MyDataKnox web hosting packages. It often happens that the number of visitors of a website increases so much that the limited resources of a web hosting package become insufficient for interrupted site functioning. That’s definitely a time to transfer to VPS.
• WEBSITES ARE NOTICEABLY SLOW
  It should be pointed out that the web hosting service is not intended for web applications that require more resources, such as increased RAM. As the amount of content and the number of users on your websites increase, the performance is bound to diminish, despite the option of buying more memory capacity and an additional CPU core, since there are still limitations in place for every user in order to ensure the stability of the service for all users on the shared hosting. Transferring to VPS solves all the aforementioned issues, since you’re using dedicated resources, and in case you need extra resources, you can easily upgrade your VPS with a greater number of CPU cores, more disk space or more RAM. MyDataKnox VPS servers are located at our Tier3-category data centre and driven by hardware based on next-generation Intel Xeon processors.
• YOU HAVE A WEB SHOP
  If you run a web shop, especially if it’s visited by a large number of users, you should consider a VPS server. In case you’re wondering why, it’s simple – a VPS server provides you with a secure environment that you can manage yourself. Online payment in itself is something that requires privacy and full control over the service.
• YOU NEED TO INSTALL YOUR OWN APPLICATIONS
  Web hosting is a great choice for website owners, but what happens when you need a server where you can install business applications such as ERP, or specialised databases? To initiate those kind of applications, you need a server with its own OS. Many companies need to install a professional software on a server which their employees can access via a remote desktop, but they don’t find the price of a dedicated server cost-effective. In that case, a VPS server is a great solution, since it enables the installation of the necessary applications on the server, including full control over the server and its resources.
• YOUR BUDGET IS LIMITED
  Even though dedicated servers are ideal for businesses, the price is also an important factor. If you don’t require the full power of an entire server, a VPS server is the ideal choice, while also being considerably cheaper than a dedicated server.
• YOU DEVELOP YOUR OWN SOFTWARE
  The users of VPS services are often developers who require a private work environment which can be accessed from any part of the world. VPS server development enables simple and smooth work according to your own rules, especially with our cloud backup service which safeguards your data on a daily basis.

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.

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.

Yes. In order to use the Hosted Exchange service, you need to have your own domain and access to DNS scripts, since it’s necessary to perform certain modifications on DNS scripts.

Incremental backup enables you to accelerate the process of creating backup copies, after an initial complete server backup has been performed, by sending only modified and new data to the backup repository. A smaller amount of backup data makes for a significantly quicker backup process.

JetBackup is a leading security solution for cPanel which enables quick and efficient creation of incremental backup copies of cPanel user accounts. Settings such as automatic creation of back copies and data recovery are also included in its transparent interface. JetBackup enables you, the administrator, to create many filters which help you define the details related to all material system settings.

You require a programme which supports audio streaming. Some examples of those programmes are BUTT and RadioDJ, and both are free of charge. If you only intend to use the AutoDJ function, you don’t require that kind of software.

Yes, you can expand your VPS disk space by leasing additional space. However, the installed operating system must be properly configured in order to include the extra disk space. You can contact our customer support if you need more information or assistance.

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. Exchange offers several possibilities for increasing productivity: from simple access using any device to automatic message, calendar, contact and map synchronization with high-level security and performance.

The MyDataKnox hosting service is used by means of our user-friendly and transparent user interface. Script editing is quick and simple, and daily backup copies eliminate the threat of any errors that might cause operation shutdown of leased servers linked to the DNS scripts.

To use the MyDataKnox DNS hosting service, the domain must be pointed to our user nameservers:

• mdns1.mydataknox.com
• mdns2.mydataknox.com

Yes. The total number of users on a cPanel server, in terms of licenses, is determined by the number of active and suspended users on that server. Therefore, cPanel checks the number of users on a server and counts them, whether they are active or suspended.

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.

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 Veeam Cloud Connect Backup service is intended for existing users of Veeam backup and replication that require an off-site storage space for their backup copies.

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.

Radio hosting is paid for exclusively on a yearly basis.

Redirecting an existing domain to MyDataKnox servers is performed by changing nameserver scripts.
The changes are executed in the system of the registry where the domain is registered.
If you decide to redirect your domain registered elsewhere to your MyDataKnox hosting account, you need to change the nameservers of the domain to:
NS1.MYDATAKNOX.COM (185.15.29.210)
NS2.MYDATAKNOX.COM (185.15.29.211)

Standard web hosting packages are perfect for less-demanding users in need of hosting for their personal sites, blogs, simple business sites and other similar websites with a low number of visitors.
Advanced hosting packages are intended for more demanding users which require additional resources and steady functioning of advanced web applications, such as web shops, CRM systems and websites with a large number of visitors.
Regardless of the package you choose, all our web hosting packages include, among many other benefits, an unlimited number of domains, unlimited e-mail addresses, a completely free SSL certificate for each of the websites within a hosting package, a simple installation of WordPress and other popular platforms and content, as well as professional support 24/7 all year round.

You can change the operating system of your VPS at any time through your MyDataKnox user website for server management. Bear in mind that you can install any operating system on a Windows VPS server, whereas there is no option of installing a Windows Server operating system on a Linux VPS server.

No. Every certificate is linked to a specific domain.
A partial exception are the Wildcard certificates, which cover a domain and all its subdomains.

Zone propagation can last for up to 24 hours, depending on the DNS cache of your Internet provider.

You can access basic options, such as starting, restarting, stopping, naming the server, etc. through the MyDataKnox user site.

MyDataKnox DNS hosting enables full control over all domains entered into the system. All DNS scripts are updated the moment you enter or modify them.

Every domain consists of a name and an extension.

In the example “mydomain.com”,

• “mydomain” is the domain name, and
• “.com” is the extension.

The domain name precedes the extension and it’s the part of the domain that makes a website unique, and, by analogy, a company, an individual, a project, etc.
A simple example would be “mydataknox” as our domain name.
Domain extensions are related to countries, business operations, activities, etc.
Am example of a country-related extension would be “.hr”, which signifies that the domain is related to Croatia. Some examples of business extensions are “.biz”, “.org” and “.com”.
Apart from the previously mentioned extensions, there are many others that cover a wide variety of areas, from professions and services to hobbies. Some examples of such topical extensions are, among others, “.apartments”, “.fitness”, “.pizza”, and “.news”.

A dedicated server is a physical server that uses hardware resources that are accessible only to you, and you have full control over the server. Dedicated servers offer you a strong, reliable hardware, located at our cutting-edge data centre, which is cost-saving since there are no expenses regarding the procurement of a server, placing it in a data centre and maintaining it.

Depending on the selected operating system, you can manage VPS setting using the Remote Desktop (Windows) or SSH (Linux).
