In order to activate the R1Soft backup service, all you need to do is to install the R1Soft client software on the server you want to backup. Afterwards, the R1Soft makes copies in the following way:
first, a complete copy of your server is made
the R1Soft client is constantly monitoring all changes on the disks within your server
each subsequent time a backup copy is saved, a snapshot is made and only the changed data is sent to the cloud (incremental backup).
No. If you’re playing commercial music on your radio station, you need to obtain the authors’ consent. You can request more information from your local copyright collection society.
In order to perform a successful domain transfer, you have to meet the following requirements:
You have be the owner of the domain or have access to the e-mail address indicated in the server as the e-mail of the administrator
You need to unlock the domain for transfer with your current registrar and get an EPP code, which is required for most extensions (not for Croatian domains)
The transfer must be initiated no later than 10 days prior to the expiration of the domain, so that it doesn’t expire during transfer
The transfer must be performed at least 60 days after the domain has been registered or previously transferred.
MyDataKnox R1Soft backup is a service which enables you to periodically store data on a central server located at our high-quality data centre. R1Soft is constantly monitoring your disks, tracking changes and making backup copies solely of the changing elements. You manage the service and backup copies using a web interface which enables you to recover and download individual files from the backup copy, perform a full bare-metal data recovery and a lot more.

CloudLinux support – process of creating a backup copy using LVE
If you provide web hosting services, it’s extremely important to secure and stabilise the servers you’re using. Even if you’re not offering web hosting services, but you require the option to isolate your users, CloudLinux is the perfect choice.
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.
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.
MyDataKnox offers Windows and Linux dedicated servers with different operating systems to choose from. We offer many Linux distributions, such as CentOS, Debian, Fedora and Ubuntu, and in terms of Windows servers, we offer Windows Server 2016 Standard.
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.)
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.
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.
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. Upon ordering a VPS service, you select the number of additional IP addresses you require, and, in case you lease multiple addresses, you an easily set one main IP address for your VPS.
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.
Every reseller hosting package enables you to add your own branding elements (logo, contact information, your own nameserver domains). In fact, your users never even need to know that you’re a MyDataKnox user. You can contact our customer support for any help with branding you might need. We’ll be glad to help.
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.
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.
Domain propagation is the time it takes for the changes you execute on the DNS to become visible on the Internet. The propagation itself takes from a few minutes up to 24 hours, depending on the DNS cache of your Internet provider.
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”.
Of course. Upon ordering a server, you select the number of additional IP addresses you require, and, in case you lease multiple addresses, you an easily set one main IP address for your server.
In order to help you find your way around the names of the services and the differences between them, we’ve prepared a comprehensive description below. WEB HOSTING Web hosting, sometimes known as shared hosting, is the most common form of hosting on the market and meets the requirements of most users regarding website hosting. By leasing a web hosting account, you’ll get access to your own separate account on a server which hosts many other users as well, and all of you share its complete resources. Hosting websites using shared web hosting has a few crucial advantages in comparison to VPS or a dedicated server:
when you get an account, everything is ready for use
you can easily install web applications using the cPanel interface
you can easily open e-mail addresses
the server is prepared solely for a web hosting service and is especially optimised for premium performance
general simple management
affordably priced web hosting packages.
Web hosting also has a few drawbacks, such as:
no advanced system configuration (e.g. MySQL)
resource limitation (every account has a specific amount of resources – CPU/RAM)
more advanced users, such as web shops with a large number of visitors, soon outgrow the options provided by a shared environment.
DEDICATED SERVER Dedicated hosting, or a dedicated server, is the complete opposite of a web hosting service.
Instead of using server resources together with other users, in a dedicated server, you have total access to the system and you can configure and use the server any way you want. Sounds great, and it is, however, it costs considerably more than an annual subscription to a hosting account. This type of hosting is intended for specific users, those that require dedicated resources, such as:
users with complex web applications with a large number of visitors
companies that use the servers for business applications and databases
users that require specific settings or virtualization.
VPS SERVER
VPS servers are a type of service which falls somewhere between web hosting and dedicated servers. It’s a service which enables you to use dedicated resources (CPU, RAM, storage) and it’s intended for users that outgrow a web hosting environment, but still don’t require the power of an entire dedicated server. VPS offers you many of the same advantages as a dedicated server at only a fraction of the price of one. Therefore, VPS gives you full administrator access and you can configure the server any way you like, just like with a dedicated server.
In order to present the similarities and differences of the aforementioned MyDataKnox services in the form of a clear overview, we’ve prepared a small table of their basic features.

Visit our websites for a detailed overview of activities included in the MyDataKnox premium support.
All reseller web hosting accounts include two separate control panels:
a Reseller Web Host Manager (WHM) which enables you to create accounts for your users and manage them
a cPanel control panel for your users which enables them to easily create and/or manage websites and e-mail.
WHM makes it very simple to manage and create various subaccounts. You will be able to:
set up cPanel for each user
limit user SSD storage and/or bandwidth
change user passwords, and perform many other actions.
Your users will be responsible for setting up their websites and e-mail, as well as managing their accounts, which they can perform using the cPanel control panel. cPanel will enable them to create and manage their websites and e-mail accounts without your intervention.
MyDataKnox doesn’t offer support for specific issues related to applications such as programming, design and website development, unless otherwise agreed upon by the user and MyDataKnox. Even though the premium support service doesn’t include working with your applications, our technical staff will assist you with any issue as much as possible.
Depending on the selected operating system, you can manage server settings using the Remote Desktop (Windows) or SSH (Linux). You can also install a web hosting control system, such as cPanel or CentOS Web Panel. You can access basic options, such as starting, restarting, stopping, naming the server, etc. through the MyDataKnox user site.
Croatian domains are linked to natural and legal persons, therefore, Carnet requires you to enter your PIN or CRN upon registration of a .hr or .com.hr domain.
Our R1Soft backup solutions offers some crucial options: BACKUP COPY Whereas conventional backup solutions secure data by storing it on the same server or an external disk, MyDataKnox R1Soft backup keeps your data secure by storing it on enterprise equipment in our data centre. QUICK DISASTER RECOVERY Recover the complete server data without a second thought! Unlike with conventional solutions, MyDataKnox backup eliminates the need for disk partition and installing an operating system before recovering the data from the backup copy. All your files, databases and applications will be restored to the server in perfect shape, like nothing ever happened. HIGH-LEVEL PERFORMANCE Sector-based backup increases bandwidth and reduces the server load. The servers can be completely operational and the effect on the performance during backup creation is minimal. Backup copies can be made at any time of day without interrupting the server processes, even on loaded servers. FAST INCREMENTAL BACKUP Incremental backup can distinguish which disk sectors have been modified since the last backup and will backup only modified and new data. A smaller amount of backup data makes for a significantly quicker backup process. HIGH-LEVEL SECURITY All data is stored and recovered under strong encryption.
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.
The EPP key, also known as Authorization code, is one of the safeguards against unauthorized transfers of domain name registrations. The EPP key is required when transferring .com, .org, .net and various other domain names. You cannot initiate a domain name transfer for these domain extensions without an EPP code.
We’ll provide you with a free trial period of 48 hours. All you need to do is contact us and request a trial period or mention that you want to try out the service when you’re finishing your order.
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.
A free .hr domain can be registered by all legal entities (companies associations, political parties and other Croatian-based organisations) and natural persons performing a registered business activity (tradesmen, medical doctors, attorneys, artists, etc.). The process of registering a free .hr domain is very simple and performed through Carnet. All you have to do is go to https://domene.hr/portal/register/info-free-hr, click “Register” and follow a few short steps.
You can store and host any kind of content on your VPS, as long as the content is compliant with local legislation. Study the legislation carefully, since you are the one responsible for the data located on the server.
Quite easily. If you hold an SSL certificate, your website address will begin with “https://” and have a padlock icon, and a “Secure” mark will appear in the browser, as shown in the image below.
Secure I https:\\mydataknox.hr
When a browser displays the website as secure, the user is confident that your website is credible.
WHM is designed as a solution for simple management of a large number of websites and helps you manage resources and create user (hosting) accounts. Some fundamental benefits of WHM are:
it’s very easy to create hosting packages for your own projects, as well as offer a web hosting service to others
enables you to manage hosted websites and separate them into individual cPanel accounts, which is really useful if you wish to keep business sites separate from private ones, or simply want to separate the access to control panels of each hosted website
automated management of security settings helps you increase the security of all websites, since WHM enables you to manage a firewall, as well as many antivirus and antispam solutions, through integrated mechanisms and simple extensions
regular upgrades prevent various types of malfunctions that might jeopardise your server
a free SSL certificate is automatically assigned to each hosting account, which ensures additional security for each hosted website.
Reseller hosting is intended for individuals and companies with multiple websites for which they require separate cPanel accounts, or those that wish to offer their users a web hosting service at their own prices and conditions, without having to maintain the server and the service itself, since we’ll be responsible for that part of the job.
SSL certificates are usually selected on the basis of the type of website and your visitors. If credit/debit card numbers and other valuable information is entered anywhere on your website, we recommend the EV certificate, which provides maximum protection and security. The DV certificate is usually acceptable for any other requirements.
