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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.

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.
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.
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
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.

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.
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.
There are two types of .hr domains: free and paid domains.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FREE AND A PAID .HR DOMAIN A free .hr domain can be registered by all legal entities (companies, associations and other legal persons) and self-employed natural persons (tradesmen, medical doctors, attorneys, artists, etc.) based in the Republic of Croatia. The user has a right to one free domain which they can register through an online registration system at: https://www.dns.hr/portal/register Paid .hr domains can be registered by all legal and natural persons based in the Republic of Croatia which hold an “OIB” (Croatian Personal Identification Number), as well as legal persons based in the EU which hold a VAT ID. You can register a paid .hr domain here.
RULES FOR NAMING FREE .HR DOMAINS The name of a domain pertaining to a legal person must contain its registered name, its shortened registered name, an acronym of its name or an abbreviation containing the syllables of a multi-word registered name. The name of a domain pertaining to a self-employed natural person must contain their registered name, their shortened registered name, an acronym of their name, an abbreviation containing the syllables of a multi-word registered name or an indication of their activity, as well as their first name, last name or full name. There are no particular limitations regarding names of paid 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.)
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.
Most domain extensions contain up to 60 characters, but keep in mind that a domain name should not be that long. The point is for the domain to describe you or your activity in as few characters as possible.
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:
If you want to use our services, such as VPS hosting, you need a DNS server in order to connect your domain to the leased server. Considering that spending time and money on buying a DNS server or creating your own DNS solution is not cost-effective, MyDataKnox offers you a read-made solution completely free of charge, which takes care of the cost problem.
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.
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.
Depending on the selected operating system, you can manage VPS setting 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, selecting an IP address, server name etc. through the MyDataKnox user site.
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.
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.
You can order the Veeam Cloud Connect Backup service here. You’ll select the size of your cloud backup storage space and the number of servers you wish to backup.
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.
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.
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.
As a reseller, you’re providing support to your own customers; you’re completely in control of the communication with your hosting users – after all, you’re the owner of your business! You’ll be able to create your own website, set up hosting packages and pricing, install scripts and modify certain aspects of user websites. Naturally, MyDataKnox support is available 24 hours a days for its reseller customers. You can contact us at any time regarding high-level technical or server issues. MyDataKnox is responsible for uninterrupted functioning and stability of the reseller hosting service, and we’ll always be glad to help you with questions related to the functioning of the server.
