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.
There are three types of SSL certificates, differing in the level of protection they provide and the way they are displayed in the browser.
DV (domain validation) – SSL certificate that protects the domain and its owner. It’s displayed in the form of a padlock + https://name.domain
OV (organization validation) – SSL certificate that verifies and protects company data. It’s displayed in the form of a padlock + https://name.domain
EV (extended validation) – SSL certificate that provides maximum protection. It’s displayed in the browser as a long green bar containing the company name.
A domain transfer is actually a change of registry. It’s important to note that the transfer pertains only to the domain, not the hosting content. In other words, your domain can be registered with one provider, and the hosting (content) with another.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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”.
Microsoft Outlook linked to POP3/IMAP enables every user to manage their personal information (messages, maps, contacts, notes, tasks, calendars, rules and notifications), but doesn’t allow sharing them with anyone nor synchronization with other user devices. MyDataKnox Hosted Exchange business e-mail enables you to share all that information within a group of users, which enables you to respond to requests more quickly, to find files and e-mail messages momentarily and to improve communication with your employees, clients and suppliers. It also enables every user to access their data using any kind of Internet connection, thus keeping your team connected no matter where they are.
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.
All domain-related options, including management, are at our disposal at the MyDataKnox user portal. You can access the user portal by signing up or logging in.
In case of “outgrowing” the maximum number of users on a server, your license will need to be upgraded to the next larger package. If the license isn’t upgraded, your access to WHM will be suspended until you upgrade the license or reduce the number of users on that server.
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.
Web hosting is a service of placing website on servers that are globally accessible online. In order for your website to display online, its scripts, images and other content must be located on a server which executes your site’s code and serves its content to its visitors.
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.
MyDataKnox doesn’t access your server data and therefore doesn’t create backup copies of the server. 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.
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.

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 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.
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.
A domain transfer starts with a domain transfer order on our website. Upon ordering a transfer, you’ll need an EPP authorization code for most extensions, which you can get from your existing registrar, and the domain must be unlocked for transfer. After you pay for the transfer, which is necessary since a domain is automatically prolonged for a year upon transfer, you’ll confirm the transfer by clicking on a link sent to you by e-mail. Afterwards, it’ll only take a couple of minutes up to a few days, depending on the registrar and the domain extension, until the transfer is complete.
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.
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.
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.
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.
MyDataKnox doesn’t pose any limitations regarding the type of software you use on your server, as long as the software in question complies with our Terms of Service.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.).
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 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.
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.
