All your data is stored in the MyDataKnox cloud within our own data centre in Jastrebarsko, Croatia. This ensures a faster response and a support service that can react quickly.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 deliver your websites to their visitors.
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.
If you require multiple hosting accounts with separate cPanel access and want to be able to create cPanel hosting accounts by yourself, reseller hosting is the right choice.
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.
A web hosting e-mail is linked to your web hosting package and enables you standard e-mail management options (POP3/IMAP). Microsoft Hosted Exchange includes full e-mail control with additional benefits, such as integration with Microsoft Outlook and push service for mobile phones in order to ensure that your data is synchronized and updated for all employees.
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)
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.
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.
Of course. All you need to do is redirect the domain to our nameservers mdns1.mydataknox.com and mdns2.mydataknox.com, and configure the necessary scripts on our user interface for DNS script management.
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.
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.
VPS 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.
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.
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.
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.
The MyDataKnox R1Soft backup service enables you to create a backup copy of up to two servers. You’ll select the number of servers that you wish to link to the service (number of agents) upon placing your order.
* 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.
A MyDataKnox hosting service provides simple DNS script management for your domain if you’re also a user of our services of VPS, dedicated servers, cloud or you’re leasing a domain with us. The service itself enables you to easily manage DNS scripts without having to arrange your own DNS server infrastructure. The service also comes with access to a control panel for adding and modifying scripts, free backup of all DNS zones and our useful customer support 24/7.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
MySQL Governor 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 for the latest versions of MySQL and MariaDB, CloudLinux is an imperative part of any shared hosting.
CageFS CageFS is a virtualized file system which isolates every user and makes them invisible to each other within the system. CageFS prevents a great number of attacks, including most attacks performed through privilege escalation.
PHP Selector Enable 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. You are in charge of managing the PHP versions that are available to the users, as well as all available PHP extensions.
Mod_lsapi Faster than any other way of serving PHP using an Apache server, while also being compatible with MPM Worker and not requiring configuration. It support PHP settings through .htacess and is completely compatible with PHP Selector.
SecureLinks A kernel-level technology that prevents all known symlink attacks. This significantly increases the server’s security level and prevents hostile users from creating symbolic links between files.
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.)
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”.
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.

Bare-metal restore is a quicker recovery process where all data is recovered, instead of recovering file after individual file. This function enables you to recover the integral backup copy of the server. Thanks to this kind of data recovery, it’ll be easy to restore the complete copy of the server, including:
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.
